Is all learning a subconscious activity?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

As a non-native English speaker I recently tried to understand difference in phrases "to study" and "to learn". I found some explanations here on English language and usage SE, stating that learning is a subconscious activity. Then in some articles I've found, authors stated that language learning is subconscious and that acquiring knowledge and skill isn't the same [ also that learning language is actually learning a skill, while learning history is acquiring knowledge.] .

So I got confused : is all learning subconscious or not?

Is there a difference in learning language and learning anatomy, laws of physics or programming?

Additionally some articles got me confused, especially those that want to sell you hypnosis DVDs and instruction manuals to "boost" your subconscious mind. Aren't we already equipped with proper subconscious mind?
