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…

The human's cognitive capacity for problem solving is always limited to his/her educational background, skills, experience, etc. Hence, it is often insufficient to bring solution to extraordinary problems especially when there is a time restriction. Nowadays this sort of personal cognitive limitation is overcome at…

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…

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…

Procedural knowledge space theory (PKST) was recently proposed by Stefanutti (British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 72(2) 185-218, [39]) for the assessment of human problem-solving skills. In PKST, the problem space formally represents how a family of problems can be solved and the knowledge space…

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…

'Manu Kapur'] Even though past research suggests that visual learning may benefit from conceptual knowledge, current interventions for medical image evaluation often focus on procedural knowledge, mainly by teaching classification algorithms. We compared the efficacy of pure procedural knowledge (three-point checklist…

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…

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…

In this mini-review, the methods used to investigate interactions between procedural and declarative systems in category learning are considered. Methods that were originally used to establish dissociations between memory systems may be biased toward demonstrating competition between them. In contrast, a modification…

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…

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…

Background Health professionals are known to use various combinations of knowledge and skills, such as critical thinking, clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, problem-solving, and decision-making, in conducting clinical practice. Clinical reasoning development is influenced by knowledge and experience, the more…

In younger adults, newly formed procedural memories are weakened by the subsequent formation of episodic memories (E→P interference) and vice versa (P→E interference; “cross-memory interference”). Older adults experience significant decline in episodic memory but maintain relatively intact procedural memory. This…

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…
