Implications of Cognitive Theory for Knowledge Acquisition

  • Chapter

Abstract

Knowledge acquisition for expert systems is a subclass of any instructional situation whereby knowledge must be externalized from a human expert and transferred to one or more “systems.” These systems have historically been other people, as in education and training. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the systems are more frequently becoming computers. There are many issues that cut across all types of knowledge acquisition. However, two key questions are, (a) What is the nature of the knowledge and/or skills used by an expert? and (b) What are the implications of the nature of expertise for methods of transferring the knowledge or skill?
