Jamie Brown is a PhD student and part-time Lecturer at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge. Email me at: jb421-at-cam.ac.uk

Research Interest
Jamie is currently undertaking a functional exploration of the implicit-explicit distinction; he is trying to establish whether there are ways in which processes labelled as 'implicit' differ from those labelled as 'explicit' in real-world settings. His first study considers implicit and explicit learning processes in children with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). His second study considers the relationship of implicit processes with occupational success, tacit knowledge and IQ.
