Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Implicit learning covers all unintentional learning, in which people incidentally acquire knowledge of the structure of stimuli, even without awareness of the content of that knowledge (Dienes 2008). Since the seminal study of Arthur Reber, research on implicit learning has developed over the past 55 years. Recently, more and more work has been completed to explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms of implicit learning. The related findings have deepened our understanding of implicit learning and have largely influenced other research domains. Despite this, some questions remain open in the field of implicit learning. What can be learned implicitly? What is the relationship between implicit learning and intelligence or other cognitive abilities? What is the relationship between implicit and explicit learning? What is the neural basis for implicit learning? This topic provides a good platform to share new findings and show the advances in research in this area.
This Special Issue welcomes articles that address any of the related questions using paradigms, such as implicit sequence learning, artificial grammar learning, implicit category learning, statistical learning, and so on. Behavioral studies, imaging studies, eye-movement studies, theoretical contributions, and literature reviews are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Intelligence is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
