Implicit memory reveals implicit bias in humans and machines.
Article in Memory & cognition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In homage to Larry Jacoby, this autobiographical and empirical account traces the intellectual lineage of research on implicit social cognition from its origins in research on implicit memory and the serendipitous discovery of a bias without awareness. This result redirected the author's scholarly attention to the hidden presence of social categories in judgment. Tracing major theoretical and methodological advances in early work on implicit social cognition, mid-period convergent evidence from neuroimaging and developmental origins in childhood, the paper ends with recent computational analyses of natural language, and the discovery of human-like biases in large language models. Together, the work highlights an enduring discovery - the frequent dissociation between explicit and implicit cognition in humans and machines. This discovery, that bias is routinely hidden from introspective access, reveals unintended hypocrisy in carbon and silicon minds whose consequences for fairness and justice remain unaddressed.
