The concept of implicit learning and memory has important considerations in the treatment of a variety of allied health-related issues.

Implicit learning underlies the unconscious acquisition of a wide range of novel sequential patterns we use every day such as language and motor skills. Repeated experience (i.e., practice) with such patterns allows us to establish strong representations in long-term memory, which, in turn, leads to fast, automatic, and typically faithful retrieval and use of these patterns. Children and adults with language impairment and/or those with motor difficulties due to injury can pose interesting treatment challenges to clinicians.

The symposium panelists will offer their insights into the virtues of implicit learning and memory as an important consideration in the potential treatment of language impairment and motor difficulties related to injury.
