The most common understanding in relation to the procedural and conceptual knowledge is of the contrast of 'knowing how' and 'knowing that'.[32] Some see the distinction as a contrast between the tacit knowledge of technology and the explicit knowledge of science.[33] Conceptual knowledge allows us to explain why, hence the distinction of 'know how' and 'know why'.[34] Conceptual knowledge is concerned with relationships among 'items' of knowledge, such that when students can identify these links, it means them have 'conceptual understanding'. This example illustrates the difference between procedural knowledge and the ordinary notion of knowing how, a distinction which is acknowledged by many cognitive psychologists.[44] One advantage of procedural knowledge is that it can involve more senses, such as hands-on experience, practice at solving problems, understanding of the limitations of a specific solution, etc. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3537.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3537.txt
