You have examined concepts of intelligence, reasoning, and learning. No doubt we all use all three. We usually use them naturally. The purpose of these exercises was to help you explore when to intentionally memorize, or to access another information repository resource.
- 4.1. Discuss : Give an example of a subject where you remember many facts about it. This is sometimes called 'domain knowledge' in industry. A welder is expected to know inspection methods, plan reading, safety procedures. These are not things you want your welder to have to look up. However, he might look up material properties, and specifications.
- 4.2. Discuss : Name one career you might be interested in.
- You likely have not chosen a career. For the sake of discussion, name one of interest to you, and the kinds of things you would want to memorize and those things that are available in other resources.
- 4.3. Discuss : How do you decide when to memorize, or when to use books or other sources?
- 4.4. Before calculators were invented, engineers used to memorize pi to 8 or 16 digits (3.1415926535897932). They did this just because they used it often. Other resources now extend our memory.
- 4.5. Display - {{{2}}}: What have you learned about memory extensions.
