Procedural Knowledge Libraries (PKLs) are frameworks for capturing the full arc of scientific inquiry, not just its outcomes. Whereas traditional libraries store static end products, PKLs preserve the process that leads to those results, including hypotheses, failures, decisions, and iterations. By addressing the loss…

Purpose The automatic extraction of knowledge about intervention execution from surgical manuals would be of the utmost importance to develop expert surgical systems and assistants. In this work we assess the feasibility of automatically identifying the sentences of a surgical intervention text containing procedural…

Procedural Q&A Authors: ['K Roth' 'Rushil Gupta' 'Simon Halle' 'Bang Liu'] Large language models struggle to synthesize disparate pieces of information into a coherent plan when approaching a complex procedural task. In this work, we introduce a novel formalism and structure for such procedural knowledge. Based on this…

Some say that big data is transforming business and society. This can mean wide-reaching disruption for commerce, health and world governance. Few authors agree on what constitutes big data, depending on the philosophical stance taken. Our propensity for keeping data archived is posing major issues globally, with…

Research in educational psychology and mathematics education has long distinguished between conceptual and procedural knowledge (for reviews, see Castro et al., ; Rittle-Johnson, ; Rittle-Johnson & Siegler, ). Conceptual knowledge refers to the comprehension of mathematical ideas, principles and their…

in Datasets and Large Language Models Authors: ['Zhuoqun Li' 'Hongyu Lin' 'Yaojie Lu' 'Hao Xiang' 'Xianpei Han' 'Le Sun'] Declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge are two key parts in meta-cognitive theory, and these two hold significant importance in pre-training and inference of LLMs. However, a comprehensive…

Background Medical knowledge encompasses both conceptual (facts or “what” information) and procedural knowledge (“how” and “why” information). Conceptual knowledge is known to be an essential prerequisite for clinical problem solving. Primarily, medical students learn from textbooks and often struggle with the process…

Assessment is an indispensable aspect of academic life - a natural partner to curriculum and a central component in medical education (1). Aside from its core objective of gauging student performance, assessment is also crucial for documenting the attainment of learning outcomes, verifying medical competence and…

Large Language Models Authors: ['Valentina Anita Carriero' 'Antonia Azzini' 'Ilaria Baroni' 'Mario Scrocca' 'Irene Celino'] Abstract. Procedural Knowledge is the know-how expressed in the form of sequences of steps needed to perform some tasks. Procedures are usually described by means of natural language texts, such…

Learning how to do things from trial and error in real time is a hallmark of biological intelligence, yet most LLM-based agents lack mechanisms to acquire procedural knowledge after deployment. We propose Procedural Recall for Agents with eXperiences Indexed by State (PRAXIS), a lightweight post-training learning…

The potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in enhancing learning and training is being widely explored. The relationship of immersion, as one of the core technical features of VR, with knowledge types has not been fully explored. This study aims to investigate how VR immersion levels (high vs. low) affect the acquisition of…

This paper proposes a novel framework for representing community 'know-how' on the Semantic Web. Procedural knowledge generated by web communities typically takes the form of natural language instructions or videos and is largely unstructured. The absence of semantic structure impedes the deployment of many useful…

We formalize scientific methodology—the end-to-end process from question formulation to evidence-grounded writing—as a phase-gated research protocol with explicit return paths and persistent constraints, and instantiate it for general-purpose language models as executable protocol specifications. The formalization…

Procedural learning facilitates the efficient processing of complex environmental stimuli and contributes to the acquisition of automatic behaviour. In the present study, we investigated two sub-components of procedural learning: statistical learning and sequence learning. The former one refers to the acquisition of…

Characterizing the developmental trajectories of cognitive functions such as learning, memory and decision making across the lifespan faces fundamental challenges. Cognitive functions typically encompass several processes that can be differentially affected by age. Methodological issues also arise when comparisons are…

In their recent article, Gabriel et al. ([3]) propose that the difficulty experienced by Belgian children in learning fractions stems from the fundamental dichotomy of procedural and conceptual knowledge of fractions. Indeed, the authors are not alone in this conclusion, as the procedural/conceptual knowledge divide…

Brown and Robertson (2007) revealed that skill learning interferes with the wakeful consolidation of episodic memories in young adults. This finding is commonly used as evidence that episodic and procedural memories should not be learned in close temporal proximity but has not been reproduced by an independent…

Step-by-step thinking is essential in all domains of chemical sciences and engineering. While machine learning tools are broadly used, algorithms that automate reasoning are far less common. We elaborate on seven categories of human reasoning activities and connect each to applications in chemical science and…

Acute stress can crucially influence learning and memory processes. A growing body of evidence shows that stress can induce a shift from cognitively demanding goal-directed to habitual, procedural forms of learning. However, the mechanisms underlying the shift are not yet understood. Here, we aimed to get an in-depth…

Everyday activities often require learning sequences that necessitate the involvement of both the declarative and the procedural memory domains. Previous research has shown that a learning structure that is common across tasks from different domains can improve learning and resistance to interference. However, it…

Current theories of planning associate the hippocampus with a cognitive map, a theoretical construct used to predict the consequences of actions. This formulation is problematic for two reasons: First, cognitive maps are traditionally conceptualized to generalize over individual episodes, which conflicts with evidence…

Multimedia approaches, including short instructional videos, are complementary to traditional modes of instruction such as in-person lecture and written procedures. We describe the creation and implementation of Quick Reference (QR) instructional videos in an undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory (OCL) setting for…

Photoredox catalysis plays an important role in the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds, such as C(sp3)-rich tertiary amines. The difficulty of identifying underlying mechanistic models for such novel transformations, coupled with the large reaction space of this reaction class, mean that developing a…

The manufacturing process of batteries can be complex and time-consuming. We introduce a new version of the digital twin of our lithium ion battery pilot line, Simubat 4.0 Gen-2, based on a new combination of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. This digital twin is designed to deliver training on the lithium-ion battery…
