Line 43:
Ordinarily, we would not say that one who is able to recognize a face as attractive is one who knows how to recognize a face as attractive. One knows how to recognize faces as attractive no more than one knows how to recognize certain arrangements of [[Lepton|leptons]], [[Quark|quarks]], etc. as tables. Recognizing faces as attractive, like recognizing certain arrangements of leptons, quarks, etc. as tables, is simply something that one does, or is able to do. It is, therefore, an instance of procedural knowledge, but it is not an instance of know-how. In many cases, both forms of knowledge are subconscious.
For instance, research by cognitive psychologist [[Pawel Lewicki]] has shown that procedural knowledge can be acquired by subconscious processing of information about covariations.<ref Name="American Psychologist">Lewicki, Paul, Hill, Thomas, & Czyzewska, Maria (1992).
