OVERVIEW. Philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists are
investigating the nature of expertise where this is understood as a term
broadly covering various kinds of know-how, attention-based knowledge,
skills, action planning, and the like. Research into expertise is also a
significant part of the inquiry into the nature of consciousness and action.
Improvement in the philosophical understanding and actual conduct of
practice should promote a better integration of discourse about expertise and
the practice of such expertise itself. The workshop is intended for
philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists along with educationalists.
