Roth's research has shown that brain-damaged patients often retain their implicit memory; she uses word tests to study patients' implicit memory...
...grammatical competence is at least as sophisticated as Kanzi's. Herman's group has also determined that dolphins can form a generalized concept about an object: they respond correctly to commands involving a hoop, no matter whether the hoop is round, octagonal or square. They also seem to retain a mental image of an object whether or not it is present in their environment. Thus they can accurately report whether a ball or hoop is in the pool (by touching their snouts to YES and NO paddles placed in the water...

Her charcoal drawings...
