Do you think you can draw a QWERTY keyboard with the keys in the right place without a reference?
Just the letter keys.
I'm looking for examples that run counter to the illusion of knowledge—thinking you can draw a bicycle that would work, etc.—that are not based on scent (humans can alert to truffles as well as pigs, etc.).
That is, my hope is that people would react to this challenge by thinking they can't and then finding, when they try with pen and paper, that they readily can, by merely going through the alphabet from A-Z and placing each key with procedural memory.
Most knowledge is implicit, and all knowledge is ecological knowledge. If we want to get smart at thinking about what we know and what we don't know, it strikes me it would be good to study systematic false positives and false negatives.
You can learn to use the mental keyboard you have as a memory palace. Just a tip. https://twitter.com/freezing_cloud/status/1301600493966209025?s=20
That is, you can use your keyboard procedural memory as the basis for a Method of Loci-type journey that you can pin any arbitrary sequence of things you want to learn to.
