summaryMany theorists in psychology have raised the issue of duality of mental processes. Human cognition is widely seen as consisting of two different kinds of processes: automatic, heuristic, intuitive, and unconscious process, and controlled, systematic, analytic, and conscious process. Here we refer them as implicit (unconscious) and explicit (conscious) processes. We, however, still only have little knowledge about the interaction between these two processes. In this talk, first, I introduce some new methods that we have developed so far to probe human implicit processes while they are solving problems. Second, I show some paradoxical phenomena revealed by experiments using the new method and I address some issues. Finally, I propose hypotheses to account for dynamics of implicit and explicit processes suggesting future directions of further research on the interaction between the two different still related processes.
