to map how implicit memory has been addressed in international scientific speech-language-hearing production. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases, supplemented by a manual search of references of the included studies....

Signed responses from readers of the wire.
No actionable change — this scoping review maps existing literature on implicit memory in communication sciences and does not yet provide practice-ready clinical guidance.
Understanding the role of implicit memory in hearing and communication disorders could open new avenues for rehabilitation strategies, particularly for patients who struggle with traditional learning-based approaches.
- 01Scoping review of international literature on implicit memory in speech-language-hearing pathology.
- 02Maps research topics, populations, and methodologies rather than synthesizing clinical outcomes.
- 03Identifies gaps where implicit memory research is underdeveloped in audiology and hearing science.
- 04Implicit memory (automatic, unconscious recall) is distinct from explicit memory and may be relevant to auditory learning and rehabilitation.
- 05Provides a framework for future primary research in this area.
