The present study was designed to explore how learning magnitude knowledge and learning procedural knowledge, with respect to both whole numbers and fractions, might be causally related. Neither magnitude knowledge nor procedural knowledge is necessary or sufficient for learning the other, and yet, correlations between the two are ubiquitous (e.g., Siegler & Pyke, 2013). Using correlational dat...

The success of the organisations is increasingly dependant on the knowledge they have, to the detriment of other traditionally decisive factors as the work or the capital (Tissen, 2000). This situation has led the organisations to pay special attention to this new intangible item, so numerous efforts are being done in order to conserve and institutionalise it. The Knowledge Management (KM) is a...

A focus on planning and debugging procedures underlies the enhanced proficiency of recent programs which solve problems and acquire new skills. By describing complex procedures as' constituents of evolutionary sequences of families of simpler procedures, we can augment our understanding of how they were written and how they accomplish their goals, as well as improving our ability to debug them....

2. Types of Procedural Knowledge Procedural knowledge forms an important part of expertise. This paper describes a system which allows domain experts to themselves enter procedural Knowledge into a knowledge base. The system, a stylized form of scientific English embodied within the Unit System for knowledge acquisition and representation, has been used successfully within the domain of molecul...

This paper addresses three hypotheses concerning the procedural/declarative distinction: 1) Procedural and declarative knowledge speed-up as separate, but parallel, power curves; 2) Procedural knowledge operates in one direction only—from condition to action—whereas declarative knowledge can be cued by any of its elements; and 3) Declarative knowledge is active--it can result in behavior indepe...

Knowledge can be expressed in two forms: declarative and procedural. Declarative knowledge describes a set of definitions about the world, while procedural knowledge describes the temporal, spatial and constraint aspects applied within these definitions. Expressing declarative knowledge textually is in some ways difficult to follow, whereas it is virtually impossible to capture all aspects of p...
