Inert knowledge is information which one can express but not use. The process of understanding by learners does not happen to that extent where the knowledge can be used for effective problem-solving in realistic situations.〔Mary L. Gick and Keith J. Holyoak (1980): ''Analogical Problem Solving.'' in: Cognitive Psychology 12:306–355.〕 The phenomenon of inert knowledge was first described in 1929 by Alfred North Whitehead:〔Alfred North Whitehead (1929): ''The Aims of Education and Other Essays''. New York: The Free Press.〕 An example for inert knowledge is vocabulary of a foreign language which is available during an exam but not in a real situation of communication. An explanation for the problem of inert knowledge is that people often encode knowledge to a specific situation, so that later remindings occur only for highly similar situations.〔Brian H. Ross (1984): ''Remindings and Their Effects in Learning a Cognitive Skill.'' in: Cognitive Psychology 16:371–416.〕 In contrast so called conditionalized knowledge is knowledge about something which includes also knowledge as to the contexts in which that certain knowledge will be useful. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inert knowledge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
