{{Short description|Ability to do something}}
'''Procedural knowledge''' (also known as '''know-how''', '''knowing-how''', and sometimes referred to as '''practical knowledge''', '''imperative knowledge''', or '''performative knowledge''')<ref>{{Cite book|title=The First-Person Point of View|last=Carl|first=Wolfgang|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|year=2014|isbn=9783110362855|pages=147}}</ref> is the knowledge exercised in the performance of some task. Unlike [[descriptive knowledge]] (also known as declarative knowledge, propositional knowledge or "knowing-that"), which involves knowledge of specific facts or propositions (e.g. "I know that snow is white"), procedural knowledge involves one's ability to ''do'' something (e.g. "I know how to change a flat tire"). A person doesn't need to be able to verbally articulate their procedural knowledge in order for it to count as knowledge
The term ''procedural knowledge'' has narrower but related technical uses in both [[cognitive psychology]] and [[intellectual property|intellectual property law]].
