Can sequence learning be implicit? New evidence with the process dissociation procedure.Arnaud Destrebecqz &Axel Cleeremans -2001 -Psychonomic Bulletin and Review 8 (2):343-350.detailsRunning head: Implicit sequence learning ABSTRACT Can we learn without awareness? Although this issue has been extensively explored through studies of implicit learning, there is currently no agreement about the extent to which knowledge can be acquired and projected onto performance in an unconscious way. The controversy, like that surrounding implicit memory, seems to be at least in part attributable to unquestioned acceptance of the unrealistic assumption that tasks are process-pure, that is, that a given task exclusively involves either implicit (...) or explicit knowledge.

The neural correlates of implicit and explicit sequence learning: Interacting networks revealed by the process dissociation procedure.Arnaud Destrebecqz,Philippe Peigneux,Steven Laureys,Christian Degueldre,Guy Del Fiore,Joel Aerts,Andre Luxen,Martia Van Der Linden,Axel Cleeremans &Pierre Maquet -2005 -Learning and Memory 12 (5):480-490.detailsIn cognitive neuroscience, dissociating the brain networks that ing—has thus become one of the best empirical situations subtend conscious and nonconscious memories constitutes a through which to study the mechanisms of implicit learning, very complex issue, both conceptually and methodologically.
First- and third-person approaches in implicit learning research.Vinciane Gaillard,Muriel Vandenberghe,Arnaud Destrebecqz &Axel Cleeremans -2006 -Consciousness and Cognition 15 (4):709-722.detailsHow do we find out whether someone is conscious of some information or not? A simple answer is “We just ask them”! However, things are not so simple. Here, we review recent developments in the use of subjective and objective methods in implicit learning research and discuss the highly complex methodological problems that their use raises in the domain.
Distinguishing three levels in explicit self-awareness.L. Legrain,A. Cleeremans &A. Destrebecqz -2011 -Consciousness and Cognition 20 (3):578-585.detailsThis paper focuses on the development of explicit self-awareness in children. Mirror self-recognition has been the most popular paradigm used to assess this ability in children. Nevertheless, according to Rochat , there are, at least, three different levels of explicit self-awareness. We therefore designed three different self-recognition tasks, each corresponding to one of these levels . We observed a decrease in performance across the three tasks. This supports a developmental scale in self-awareness. Besides, the masked self-recognition performance makes it possible (...) to assess the final and the most sophisticated level of self-awareness, i.e. the external self. To our best knowledge, this task is the first attempt to evaluate the external self in preverbal children. Our results indicate that 22-month old children show awareness of their external self or, at least, that this ability is in the process of being acquired. (shrink)

Filling one gap by creating another: Memory stabilization is not all-or-nothing, either.Philippe Peigneux,Arnaud Destrebecqz,Christophe Hotermans &Axel Cleeremans -2005 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (1):78-78.detailsWalker proposes that procedural memory formation involves two specific stages of consolidation: wake-dependent stabilization, followed by sleep-dependent enhancement. If sleep-based enhancement of procedural memory formation is now well supported by evidence obtained at different levels of cognitive and neurophysiological organization, wake-dependent mechanisms for stabilization have not been demonstrated as convincingly, and still require more systematic characterization.

The self-organizing conundrum.Arnaud Destrebecqz &Axel Cleeremans -2002 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (3):334-335.detailsPerruchet and Vinter stop short of fully embracing the implications of their own SOC framework, and hence end up defending an implausible perspective on consciousness. We suggest instead that consciousness should be viewed as a graded dimension defined over quality of representation. This graded perspective eliminates the most problematic aspects of the cognitive unconscious without denying its existence altogether.
