Whats the difference between explicit and implicit information?

Explicit is something quite clear and obvious. The information that is straight forward without any chances of confusion. Implicit is rather indirect or some vague information about a particular thing which you can't state with any credibility.

Explicit and implicit are adjectives with opposite meanings. If something is explicit, it’s clearly understood. If something is suggested or not clearly defined, it’s implicit. Explicit information is information that is stated and obvious, whereas implicit information is not obviously stated. It is up to the reader, most of the time, to figure out the implicit meaning of a piece of text. For example, in the sentence "The girl wore a red dress," the explicit information is what it is you exactly read: the fact that a girl is wearing a red dress. Yet, the implicit information here is whatever you can interpret from a girl wearing a red dress. A reader can ask questions about the explicit information here, such as: why is the color red? Why a dress, in particular? This would lead them to figure out the implicit meaning. For example, the color red is rich and sensual, so it may symbolize danger or passion, possibly meaning the girl illuminates femme fatale energy. This would be the implicit meaning of 'The girl wore a red dress'!.

Explicit information is indisputable, nonnegotiable information.

For example "the car is red"

The information that the car is red is explicit. There is no room for that to be misinterpreted.

Implicit information contrastingly is not stated outright, it is information that you conclude based on the explicit information that is provided.

For example "the car hurtled by me"

The implicit information that you can infer from the information provided is that the car is going fast.

Explicit information is what you read in the text. It can't be argued because it is there in black and white. Implicit information is the meaning that is implied with in the text. The writer gives you clues and hints as to the hidden meanings, point of view or argument they are trying to convey.

Explicit describes something that is very clear and without vagueness or ambiguity. Implicit often functions as the opposite, referring to something that is understood, but not described clearly or directly, and often using implication or assumption.

When something is explicit, it means that it is very clear. There is no vagueness or guessing about it. On the other hand, implicit information is not clear or direct. It is usually based on implication or assumption. For example: All children grow up. (explicit) versus All children, except one, grow up. (implicit as we do not know who that one child is, although most people who have some knowledge would probably think of Peter Pan.)

Explicit is something that is evidenced in the text. For example in the sentence "The girl's lip quivered as she dropped her burger". We explicitly know the girl dropped her burger. The implicit information would be that she is sad, this is implied through her lip quivering as if she is about the cry.

Explicit information is what I like to call the "base layer of information". It is the direct and obvious information that we are given. Then we add in implicit information, which I call "the detailed layer of information" as it gives us greater detail about what is happening.

Explicit information is information that is stated or communicated obviously or clearly. Implicit information is information that is subtextual. In other words, it is not immediate or obvious.

Explicit describes something that is very clear and without vagueness or ambiguity. Implicit often functions as the opposite, referring to something that is understood, but not described clearly or directly, and often using implication or assumption.

Explicit is something that is obvious. Implicit is something that is implied or suggested. For example, "I hated that film!" is an explicit statement - I know exactly what is being said. Whereas, "The best things about that film was the ending credits!" is an implicit statement - I am suggesting that I did not like the film without directly saying so.

Explicit information will be the information that you can see on the page - the 'obvious'.

Implicit information, is what is suggested - what lays between the lines.

For example, in a story, a male character may gift his love interest a red rose.

Explicit: We know he is interested in her because he has given her a gift, that gift is a rose.

Implicit: A red rose symbolises love, but often associate the colour red with blood, and we associate blood with the heart. Therefore, by giving his love interest a red rose, we can suggest that the male character is giving her his heart.

When dealing with explicit information is it usually information that is made clear and obvious directly from the statement. Implicit information is to be reasoned from the statement- it is hinted at and requires you to work it out.

Explicit is something that is clear and obvious. There are no hidden meanings or doubts about what the writer is trying to tell you. On the other-hand, implicit information refers to something that is less obvious; underlying meanings.
