Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Types of Knowledge)} & \textbf{List-II (Description)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{Meta Knowledge} & (I)\ \text{It is highly organized knowledge that resides mainly in long-term memory.} \\ (B)\ \text{Declarative Knowledge} & (II)\ \text{Knowledge about which information others need.} \\ (C)\ \text{Semantic Knowledge} & (III)\ \text{It gets embedded in the human mind through experience} \\ (D)\ \text{Tactic Knowledge} & (IV)\ \text{Knowledge that resides in short-term memory} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Use simple associations: Tacit = experience. Declarative = facts you can state. Semantic = long-term concepts. Meta = knowledge about knowledge.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Define each type of knowledge in List-I. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Meta Knowledge: Knowledge about knowledge. This includes understanding the extent of one's own knowledge, or knowing who knows what.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Declarative Knowledge: Knowledge of facts, concepts, and ideas that can be explicitly stated or "declared". It's the "knowing what". It often resides in short-term memory for immediate use.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Semantic Knowledge: A type of long-term memory that stores general world knowledge, concepts, and meanings, independent of personal experience.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Tacit Knowledge: Knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalizing it. It is deeply personal and gained through experience.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Match the definitions to the descriptions in List-II. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Meta Knowledge matches (II) Knowledge about which information others need (a form of knowing "who knows what").} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Declarative Knowledge matches (IV) Knowledge that resides in short-term memory (facts you can recall).} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Semantic Knowledge matches (I) It is highly organized knowledge that resides mainly in long-term memory.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Tacit Knowledge matches (III) It gets embedded in the human mind through experience.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Form the correct combination. The correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
