Abstract

The recognition of the fact that a human expert is often incapable of realizing and reporting his own knowledge induces to search for the situations that might facilitate the processes of recollection and verbalization of the expertise. Such situations were found in cognitive psychology and proved to be of great use for the acquisition of knowledge about properties of objects. Suggested here are some other situations and knowledge elicitation methods based on them. One method is applicable to obtain criteria and preferences for solving the tasks of optimum selection and the other is designed to elicit knowledge about actions to be used in planners. The situations productive for knowledge elicitation can be generated by the use of spatial metaphors and graphic images which provide a vivid, easily perceived and understood form of the tasks given to the expert. The examples of images fruitful for the elicitation of different types of knowledge are given.
