Knowledge is information recorded and verified by practice that can be repeatedly used by people to solve certain problems.
Knowledge is information that is remembered: either on purpose or by accident.
The stronger the knowledge, the more it becomes a weapon, the more dangerous it is.
Knowledge is different from skills and abilities. For example, I know how to learn how to type on the keyboard using the ten-finger method — I know, but I don’t know how to type.
Types of knowledge
Surface knowledge — knowledge about visible, obvious relationships between events and facts of the subject area, close to purely empirical experience, which can be represented in simple models, for example, based on rules like «If (condition), then (action)».
Deep knowledge is knowledge that reflects the structure and nature of existing relationships and processes occurring in the subject area. This knowledge can be used to predict the behavior of objects.
Explicit knowledge is accumulated experience that can be identified and presented in the form of methods, instructions, guidelines, recommendations for action. Explicit knowledge is formulated, fixed.
Implicit knowledge is knowledge that is difficult or difficult to formalize; intuitive knowledge, sensations, impressions, opinions. This kind of knowledge can be easily lost.
Hidden knowledge is personal knowledge that is inextricably linked to individual experience. It can be conveyed through direct contact, face-to-face, in the form of “do as I do” recommendations, or through special knowledge extraction procedures. Hidden knowledge is knowledge that is inextricably linked with its bearer, a person, a small group, an organization. Hidden knowledge can be found in job skills, in communication skills, in the culture of an organization, and so on.
Declarative knowledge is a term proposed by the American neuropsychologist L. Squire in the book: Squire LR, Memory and Brain, Oxford, 1987 and means that a person has a clear and accessible account of his experience, a feeling of familiarity with this experience.
Procedural knowledge — Unlike declarative knowledge, a person with procedural knowledge represents how to act.
A special case of knowledge is the so-called know-how.
Knowledge and feeling
Knowledge and feeling are two different ways of perceiving. Knowledge is figurative-visual or conceptual perception, perception through the mind (head). Feeling is kinesthetic perception, perception through the body. See →
