=== Book smart and street smart === Concepts of "book smarts" and "street smart" are contrasting views based on the premise that some people have knowledge gained through academic study, but may lack the experience to sensibly apply that knowledge, while others have knowledge gained through practical experience, but may lack accurate information usually gained through study by which to effectively apply that knowledge. [[Artificial intelligence]] researcher [[Hector Levesque]] has noted that: {{blockquote|Given the importance of learning through text in our own personal lives and in our culture, it is perhaps surprising how utterly dismissive we tend to be of it. It is sometimes derided as being merely "book knowledge", and having it is being "book smart". In contrast, knowledge acquired through direct experience and apprenticeship is called "street knowledge", and having it is being "street smart".<ref>[[Hector J. Levesque]], ''Common Sense, the Turing Test, and the Quest for Real AI'' (2017), p. 80.</ref>}}
