Example: Knowing how to interpret social cues or body language without having studied them formally. Example: A person who drives a car might implicitly know how to handle different road conditions but might not have consciously thought about the process.
Expression: Implicit knowledge can often be made explicit with some effort. For example, by reflecting on or discussing an action, one might be able to articulate the knowledge that was previously implicit. Example: A person might know how to solve a particular type of problem through experience but might need to think about the steps to explain it to someone else.
