Explicitness has usually been approached from two points of view,labelled by Kirsh the structural and the process view, that hold oppositeassumptions to determine when information is explicit. In this paper, weoffer an intermediate view that retains intuitions from both of them. Weestablish three conditions for explicit information that preserve astructural requirement, and a notion of explicitness as a continuousdimension. A problem with the former accounts was their disconnection withpsychological work on the issue. We review studies by Karmiloff-Smith, andShanks and St. John to show that the proposed conditions have psychologicalgrounds. Finally, we examine the problem of explicit rules in connectionistsystems in the light of our framework.
