ABSTRACT
As a result of solving problems within a domain, we learn something about that domain. Learning manifests itself as a permanent change in a person’s behaviour as a result of experience, although such a change can be further modified, or even interfered with by further experience. There are two kinds of learning that are discussed here, both of which would normally result in expertise in a particular domain. These are an increase in knowledge about a domain-declarative knowledge-and an increase in skill related to the domain-procedural knowledge. The two are necessarily interconnected, as procedural knowledge often develops as a result of using one’s declarative knowledge in specific contexts. Declarative and procedural knowledge have already been discussed in Chapters 4 and 7. Here we look more closely at the interrelation between the two.
