Document Summary
Tacit knowledge (polanyi) knowledge that one possesses but is difficult to write it down or explain it: we know something from experience but not with concrete fact, ex. Recognizing a sad face or a familiar face: we perceive totalities and the individual aspects are perceived later, non-explicable skills imply theoretical and practical knowledge (knowing that and knowing how, experiment of shock syllables aka nonsense syllables. Proximal + distal = structure of tacit knowledge. Notes from benner/tanner expert nurse intuition: polanyi and kuhn two kinds of knowledge/knowing how, based on embodied intelligence (benner) Body takes over a skill; nurses able to show on their own body what they are talking about but cannot direct every single step of the action. Benner is more all-encompassing and looks at the bigger picture (embodied knowledge) Intuition and understanding without rationale: pattern and similarity recognition recognizing relationships without pre- specifying the components. Recognizing similarities despite marked differences: common-sense lifeworld , flexible understanding of diverse situations.
