Resumo
Objetivo: mapear como a memória implícita tem sido abordada na produção científica internacional em Fonoaudiologia. Estratégia de pesquisa: Foi realizada busca eletrônica nas bases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL e PsycINFO, complementada por busca manual nas referências dos estudos incluídos. A revisão de escopo foi conduzida com base no Manual para Síntese de Evidências do Joanna Briggs Institute, seguindo as diretrizes PRISMA-ScR. O protocolo foi registrado no Open Science Framework (10.17605/OSF. IO/PNDWF). Critérios de seleção: Foram incluídos estudos que abordassem a memória implícita em contextos fonoaudiológicos, em português, inglês ou espanhol, independentemente do ano de publicação. Análise dos dados: Dois revisores extraíram os dados de forma independente, considerando delineamento, população, objetivos e principais desfechos. Os estudos foram agrupados por área de aplicação e sintetizados por análise descritiva e narrativa. Resultados: Um total de 2.565 documentos foram identificados, dentre os quais 39 compuseram essa revisão. Os estudos foram agrupados em 3 categorias (linguagem, audiologia e voz). Os temas mais frequentes encontrados foram: a aplicação da aprendizagem implícita em contextos terapêuticos fonoaudiológicos; o uso de tarefas implícitas para avaliação e caracterização de transtornos; as investigações de vieses, preconceitos e/ ou percepções implícitas na prática fonoaudiológica. Conclusão: A literatura trata a memória implícita de forma limitada e heterogênea, principalmente em linguagem, audiologia e voz, com foco em aprendizagem implícita, avaliação e vieses. Apesar do potencial clínico, há carência de sistematização conceitual e metodológica, indicando a necessidade de pesquisas futuras para consolidar seu uso na área

Abstract
Purpose: 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. The scoping review was conducted based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Synthesis Manual, following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework (10.17605/ OSF.IO/PNDWF). Selection criteria: Studies addressing implicit memory in speech-language-hearing contexts, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, regardless of year of publication, were included. Data analysis: Two reviewers independently extracted data, considering design, population, objectives, and main outcomes. The studies were grouped by area of application and synthesized by descriptive and narrative analysis. Results: A total of 2,565 documents were identified, of which 39 comprised this review. The studies were grouped into three categories (language, audiology, and voice). The most frequent themes found were the application of implicit learning in speech-language-hearing contexts; the use of implicit tasks for the assessment and characterization of disorders; and investigations of biases, prejudices, and/or implicit perceptions in speech-language-hearing practice. Conclusion: The literature deals with implicit memory in a limited and heterogeneous manner, mainly in language, audiology, and voice, focusing on implicit learning, assessment, and biases. Despite its clinical potential, there is a lack of conceptual and methodological systematization, indicating the need for future research to consolidate its use in the field.
