Part II: Putting the Implicit Revolution to Use (for Oneself and for Others) with Anthony G. Greenwald (University of Washington)

Implicit revolution is the label for a paradigm shift in understanding how the contents of human thought and judgment are shaped—outside conscious awareness—by residues of one’s lifetime experiences. This revolution’s applications now extend to business, education, law, justice, politics, and healthcare. Awareness is being spread both by knowledgeable academics and by journalists who report on the growing range of societal applications.
