Developing Procedural Knowledge We are talking here of skill development, specifically, the acquisition of explicit, declarative knowledge as the basis for skill development. Often this works as follows: We are presented with a description of a way to perform a task. We practice it, perhaps haltingly at first but our proficiency improves with continued practice and it benefits from feedback. Finally, we reach the point at which our ability to perform the task is automatic, we no longer have to think about it. Over time, we might even forget the original task descriptions that enabled enabled our early attempts to perform the task.
