Master thesis on implicit learning

After much ado my master thesis was published in Learning and Instruction in 2006. The article looks at the phenomenon of implicit learning. It has often been argued based on findings of implicit learning in a lab environment that the approach should be assumed in the educational system. We wanted to test this, and performed implicit learning experiments in a school setting. We found evidence of implicit learning, but found more traditional, explicit teaching to be more efficient.

Student resources

I wrote some study notes for my own benefit when I was doing my undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of Bergen. Other students wanted copies, and as far as I understand, some of the notes are still in circulation. Some of the files are available below, let me know if anyone wants any of the other files.

Keep in mind that these things are up to 10 years old by now, and I have not really edited them since, so they are bound to contain errors and may not be relevant for the current curriculum. Let me know if you find any serious errors, I may do something about it.
