577 – Enskilled Knowledge & Education of Attention, Carl Woods
The Perception & Action Podcast
Carl Woods from the University of Queensland and I discuss the concept of “enskilled knowledge” and the critical difference between educating attention (showing someone where to look) and the knowledge that comes from doing a thing in a place. Carl gives a ton of wonderful examples from wine tasting and surfing to handing down family recipes and navigating boats across an open ocean!

info_outlineHow can we understand the cognition involved in route previewing (for example, as is commonly used in rock climbing and alpine skiing) and using advance information (for example, about an opponent’s tendencies) from an ecological dynamics perspective?
