In the past 20 years, implicit leaning has attracted a great deal of theoretical study. However, the study of implicit learning in the applied field is still at its very beginning. It mainly characterizes in automation, generation, unawareness and so on. By means of difficult artificial definite state grammar and easy bi-conditional grammar, which respectively stand for converging operations on difficult materials and easy materials, this research has the following effects on comparisons of distinguishing the abilities of match group standing for implicit learning, edit group representing explicit learning, and the other three groups: match/edit group, edit/match group and alternate group. Results indicated that (a) Research proved the existence of implicit learning and it does better than explicit learning in discriminating grammatical sets versus ungrammatical sets while studying difficult materials, (b) Research addressed that there is an interaction between implicit learning and explicit learning, which generates an interior mechanism as the abstractness of implicit learning and the exterior condition is the timely cooperation of explicit learning. (c) The subjects' distinguishing ability of accepting different symbol sets is better than that of accepting same symbol sets. (d) There is a time effect that subjects' discrimination of grammatical sets from ungrammatical sets becomes better and better as time goes by when we study easy grammatical materials. However, when we study difficult materials, it depends on different situations: the scores of the same sets go up with the time, while the sores of different sets significantly reduce at unit 2 level and increase at unit 3 level. (e) The study ability of girls is better on the condition of implicit learning, while it has no obvious sex distinct in case of explicit study.This research has demonstrated the existence of implicit learning and indicated that we should not underestimate the contribution of implicit. It has an important implication for education: it demands that teachers should emphasize on the role of unaware quality as well as conscious factors, which means learners should have an implicit knowledge basis when they are studying a complex and somewhat difficult task and then the teachers should try to build an explicit model to make the students' unconscious activities tending towards study objects so as to obtain the best study efficacy.
