Consideration of the relationship between explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge in an intellectual task

Abstract

In the execution of certain intellectual tasks, both explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge on the task are considered to be affecting. How does explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge affect the execution of task respectively? In this experiment, we investigated using four Origami tasks. As a result of the experiment, the following results were obtained. ① All the participants were able to complete the task. ② Variation in task time was large in tasks including new actions. From the above, it is concluded as follows. ① It is important that explicit knowledge is given in order to complete the intellectual task. ② If new information was included in the given explicit knowledge, tacit knowledge had a big difference in understanding and execution.
