Nonconscious Acquisitionof Information

“Most of the ‘real work’ both in the acquisition of cognitive procedures and skills and in the execution of cognitive operations, is being done at a level to which our consciousness has no access”

–Pawel Lewicki, et al

Nonconscious Acquisitionof Information

“The sophistication and speed of this inner processing far exceed what can even be approached by our consciously controlled thinking.”

–Pawel Lewicki, et al
