    Challenges→Knowledge acquisition requires active attention, not occurrent propositional knowledge, on at least some occasions.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Expert musicians play correctly without conscious attention to finger placement, suggesting procedural memory operates independently of occurrent awareness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Implicit learning studies show subjects acquire reliable pattern recognition without explicit attention or conscious hypothesis formation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dispositional knowledge can be activated automatically by environmental cues, generating justified beliefs without deliberate attentional episodes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reliable belief formation typically requires some minimal attentional gatekeeping to distinguish veridical memory from confabulation or error.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Implicit procedures often produce outputs, but connecting them to knowledge-how requires occurrent recognition that performance meets epistemic standards.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dispositional states remain mere capacities until activated; activation arguably constitutes an attentional episode, making the claim definitionally unclear.
