	Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - tacit knowledge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		That an exhaustive equation of tacit knowledge with pretheoretical, skilled expertise cannot be maintained becomes particularly clear when we consider that one widely accepted paradigm of tacit knowledge is to be found in language competence (e.g., Chomsky 1986, pp.
		An example of this kind of tacit knowledge is that objects are rigid, a bit of knowledge few people ever bother to formulate, but which is evidenced in such basic everyday actions as sitting in a chair.
		While the kinds of tacit knowledge underlying skills or expert performances on the one hand, and cognitive competences like knowledge of language on the other, appear to be domain-specific, this third type of tacit knowledge would appear to be more generally applicable.

	The duality of knowledge
		However, the tacit knowledge is not articulated and shared; the learner actually develops their own tacit knowledge by becoming immersed in the practice itself, under the guidance of a mentor and whilst situated in a particular environment.
		Tacit knowledge involves physical skills such as putting the movements together in a high-precision luxury watch as well as perception skills such as interpreting a complex seismic readout of an oil reservoir.
		Nonaka contends that tacit knowledge is hard to formalize and therefore difficult to communicate: it is (in Polanyi's terms) knowledge that is not at the forefront of consciousness.

		The tacit knowledge functions as a background knowledge which assists in accomplishing a task which is in focus.
		Our knowledge of the things denoted by words will have been largely acquired by experience in the same way as animals come to know things, while the words will have acquired their meaning by previously designating such experience, either when uttered by others in our presence or when used by ourselves.

	Michael Polanyi and tacit knowledge
		Tacit knowledge comprises a range of conceptual and sensory information and images that can be brought to bear in an attempt to make sense of something (see Hodgkin 1991).
		We must conclude that the paradigmatic case of scientific knowledge, in which all faculties that are necessary for finding and holding scientific knowledge are fully developed, is the knowledge of approaching discovery.
		To hold such knowledge is an act deeply committed to the conviction that there is something there to be discovered.

	L and T template
		Tacit (silent) knowledge (Polanyi, 1958) and implicit learning (see Berry [ed.] 1997) have in common the idea of not knowing what you do know or have learned.
		Originally, Polanyi's interest was in the kind of knowledge which we routinely use and take for granted, such as the ability to recognise the face of a friend: it is irreducible to explicit propositional knowledge and cannot be articulated.
		If tacit knowledge is about the content of what is learned, implicit learning is about the process, and it remains a contentious debate in psychology.

		Yes, tacit knowledge is hard to capture, that is why one should first ask, if it is necessary to capture it.
		A good example would be juggling, which holds a lot of tacit elements on how to do certain things, but those cannot be transferred to shown to anybody, you can design a training however that will (depending on certain conditions) sooner or later produce the tacit knowledge for the trainee.

		But rather than being a knowledge base that attempts to replicate the knowledge of a person (such as a medical diagnosis program that tries to mirror the decision-making process of a doctor), it instead gathers meta-knowledge (knowledge about knowledge) on the tacit knowledge contained in the minds of an organization's professionals.

	Ian Alexander's Reviews of Books on Requirements Engineering and Related Subjects - Polanyi on Tacit Knowledge
		The situation, then, is that we possess knowledge we cannot tell, tacit knowledge, but that skilled elicitation enables us to talk about at least some of it and effectively share it when necessary.
		The tacitness is not destroyed by tricks such as the police's Photofit, as we cannot tell how we 'match the features we remember with those in the collection' - it is the same mystery expressed in a different form.
		A scientist who has a tacit grasp of a problem may indeed be well on the way to a solution, but can't state it, yet, and certainly can't measure it.

	THE SYNERGY BETWEEN EXPLICIT AND TACIT KNOWLEDGE
		Nonaka and Takeuchi argue that organizations are interested in knowledge management because, as well as being smarter in their use of embedded knowledge, they need to engage in knowledge creation.
		The knowledge is in forms that can easily be transferred, via a range of means, including plans, charts, research and development and technical papers.
		Good socialization allows people to draw on their experiences (tacit) and to come up with new and novel solutions to problems that can be introduced for the benefit of the organization (explicit).

		Furthermore as figure 7 reveals although tacit knowledge instruction does reveal the fact that it is not generally taught, we may see that the presence of codes such as ‘theoretically teachable’ and ‘learning the ropes’ nevertheless indicate that it is able to be passed on nevertheless.
		It is the source of knowledge in that it is the basis for knowledge gathering, generation and diffusion.
		Our approach has attempted to model not only how tacit knowledge may be illustrated comparatively from one individual to the next, but also how we may graphically define what the ingredients of tacit knowledge constitute.

	Tacit knowledge - riding a bike - John Seely Brown
		Now here is an experiment that tries to bring the tacit to the explicit, and even when that happens, you refuse to believe it.
		But this is an example of just how mysterious the tacit is and how getting at that, and bringing that up to the surface so that you can do something about it is incredibly complicated.
		And so as we try to change organizational structures, we are actually trying to change the tacit as well as the explicit, and the trouble with tacit knowledge is that it is almost impossible to get hold of it, reflect on it, and work with it.
