Nonconscious Acquisition
of 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 Acquisition
of 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
