Consciousness and learning - 2007/08/09 22:21
All experienced drivers are familiar with the feeling of driving unconsciously: suddenly you realize that you don’t remember the last ten kilometers because you were listening to the radio or talking on your mobile phone (using your car’s hands free set). However, this phenomenon is much more unlikely to happen if you are a novice driver. Does this mean that consciousness is required for learning? I would say so, at least in the sense that you need to pay attention to something that is new for you, and therefore cannot do it “automatically”. But, is there any kind of implicit learning that takes place unconsciously? Or anything that we learn has to gone through our stream of consciousness before it is fixed? Or both implicit and explicit learning occurs within a collaborative process?
