'''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, since procedural knowledge requires only knowing how to correctly perform an action or exercise a skill.<ref name=SEP>{{cite web |title=Knowledge How |url=https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-how/ |website=Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |access-date=14 June 2020}}</ref><ref name="Stanley 2001 411–444">{{Cite journal|last1=Stanley|first1=Jason|last2=Williamson|first2=Timothy|date=2001|title=Knowing How|journal=The Journal of Philosophy|volume=98|issue=8|pages=411–444|doi=10.2307/2678403|jstor=2678403}}</ref>
