Week 1
Implicit Social Cognition and Mental
Representation
What Is a Mental Representations?
• Although a lot of definitions exist for the term mental representations,
here they will be defined as: any mental content or operation that
stands for something else in the world.
What Is Implicit?
• Implicitness is characterized by the so-called four horseman of
automaticity. Indeed, implicit representations 1) lack awareness, 2) are
efficient, 3) do not require intent, and 4) escape control.
• Some theories consider implicitness or explicitness to be features of the
representation itself. Others emphasize that a given representation can
be used either explicitly or implicitly.
• A related issue that is discussed in the theories following is whether a
representation is always implicit, as opposed to momentarily implicit.
Models of Mental Representation
Associative Network Models:
• According to these models, mental representations are built from
discrete, interconnected nodes. These nodes stand for concepts, and
the links between nodes stand for relationships.
