The former can be exploited, but cannot be verbalized easily (e.\,g., to explain it to another person). The latter is available in an explicit form, it often comprises generalized, rule-based knowledge which can be verbalized and explained to others. During a learning process, the learned knowledge starts in an implicit form and gets explicit as the learning process progresses, and humans benefit from exploiting such generalized, rule-based knowledge when learning. This paper investigates how learning agents can benefit from explicit knowledge which is extracted during a learning process from a learned implicit representation. It is clearly shown that an agent can already benefit from explicit knowledge in early phases of a learning process.Keyphrases: knowledge extraction, learning agents, symbolic/sub symbolic integration In: Christoph Benzmüller, Geoff Sutcliffe and Raul Rojas (editors).
