Video-game development: Do I know or just do it?

Psychology of human learning distinguishes implicit learning, the incidental acquisition of a new skill resulting in knowledge that is unconscious (just doing it), and explicit learning, a more effortful and intentional form of learning leading to conscious knowledge (I know it!). Our research assesses whether these two routes to learning also exist in apes and monkeys, and how and when they appear during childhood in humans. This project will involve developing a playful video-game-like experiment to probe implicit and explicit learning in children without relying on verbal responses. This internship will be co-supervisded by Dr. Raphaëlle Malassis (ERC Marie-Curie Fellow).
