Abstract
Incidental or Intentional Learning? Two Compatible Processes
Highlights
Our daily life is full of numerous examples that reveal how much of our behavior and our knowledge comes from unconscious learning, that is, behaviors and knowledge learned without intending to learn them, without having been aware of having learned them and about which even currently we may not be aware of having acquired them [1]
Since Arthur Reber referred to this last type of learning as “incidental learning” in 1967, twenty years have gone by in which there has been no concern for this concept, and twenty years in which there has been growing interest in its existence
An internal chaos would occur if the subject were aware at all times of all the information of their environment, due to their inability to act and the difficulty in responding to external and internal stimulation [12]. It seems that in incidental or automatic processing information is treated in a parallel way, considering multiple information simultaneously [11]

In some sports players must select the relevant information to conveniently decide between several options, such as football, basketball, soccer, etc. These decisions are generally linked to situations of high pressure, little time and information available. These are situations where it is not possible to make a conscious selection of all the information, as well as possible solutions. That is why we can say that a truly right decision will be based on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking
