The concept of unconscious knowledge is fundamental for an understanding of human thought processes and mentation in general; however, the psychological community at large is not familiar with it. This paper offers a survey of the main psychological research currently being carried out into cognitive processes, and examines pathways that can be integrated into a discipline of unconscious knowledge. It shows that the field has already a defined history and discusses some of the features that all kinds of unconscious knowledge seem to share at a deeper level. With the aim of promoting further research, we discuss the main challenges which the postulation of unconscious cognition faces within the psychological community.
无意识知识的概念对于理解人类思维过程及一般心理活动至关重要;然而,整个心理学界对此并不熟悉。本文概述了当前正在进行的关于认知过程的主要心理学研究,并探讨了可整合到无意识知识学科中的途径。它表明该领域已有明确的历史,并讨论了各类无意识知识在更深层次上似乎共有的一些特征。为推动进一步研究,我们讨论了无意识认知假设在心理学界面临的主要挑战。
