Which term refers to knowledge that can be expressed in words?

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

Answer: (A)

The main idea is distinguishing knowledge that can be stated in words from other kinds of knowledge. Declarative knowledge is explicit and verbalizable; it includes facts, definitions, rules, and concepts that you can articulate in speech or writing. You can express this knowledge directly, such as stating a vocabulary word, a grammatical rule, or a historical fact. In contrast, procedural knowledge is about knowing how to do something and is often shown through performance rather than described in words. Generalization and transfer describe how knowledge is used in new contexts, not how it’s expressed. So the term that refers to knowledge that can be expressed in words is declarative knowledge.
