Knowledge of information that can be expressed in words is called what?

• A. Declarative Knowledge
• B. Procedural Knowledge
• C. Transfer
• D. Automatization

Answer: (A)

This item tests declarative knowledge—the kind of knowledge you can state in words. It covers facts, concepts, definitions, and rules that you can recall and verbalize. In language learning, this includes vocabulary and grammar rules you can explain or write down. This contrasts with procedural knowledge, which is knowing how to do something and is often demonstrated through performance rather than spoken description. Transfer and automatization refer to using knowledge in new contexts and the process of making a skill automatic, respectively, and aren’t about the type of knowledge itself. So, information that can be expressed in words is declarative knowledge.
