Abstract

Learning in the brain can be divided into implicit and explicit modes, where the former corresponds to skill learning or priming (or other types) and the latter to semantic or to episodic coding in which awareness of the memory is possible to the subject. The former type of learning is thought to take place in non-cortical regions (cerebellum, thalamus, etc.) and posterior associative cortex, the latter in associative cortex and more specifically in hippocampus (if only temporarily).
