Lindseth (2016) reported that direct instruction and practice using the German verb‐inversion rule resulted in higher accuracy in an oral test for college students, supporting the hypothesis that explicit linguistic knowledge can become implicit linguistic knowledge. It is quite likely, however, that the conditions for the use of conscious knowledge (the monitor) were met on the test.
