DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe memory systems of the brain include explicit\, 
 conscious memory and a separate type of implicit learning from experience 
 that occurs without awareness of the content learned.  These two different
  forms of memory depend on different neural mechanisms but both contribute
  to our ability to learn complex cognitive abilities.  The relatively less
  studied mechanisms of implicit learning will be examined via a series of 
 studies with a skill learning task that produces robust knowledge outside 
 of awareness.  These studies show both the capability and limitations of i
 mplicit learning processes.  However\, to understand complex learning proc
 esses it will be necessary to not only understand these types of learning\
 , but also how and when these information sources interact.  Driven by two
  experiments demonstrating different types of memory system interactions\,
  a general framework (PINNACLE) for characterizing the practical use of mu
 ltiple memory systems is described.
