Implicit stereotypes are the introspectively unidentified (or inaccurately identified) traces of past experience that mediate attributions of qualities to members of a social category. — Anthony G. Greenwald and Mahzarin R. Banaji, Implicit Social Cognition, 193

• DEFINE: Core definitional passage of the paper; gives the formal definition of implicit stereotypes that anchors the whole research program.
• XREF: Directly parallels the earlier/companion definitions of implicit attitudes and implicit self-esteem in this same foundational paper; also the construct behind the later IAT. — connects to: Implicit cognition is past experience’s unnoticed trace shaping responses. — Anthony G.
