Passive intellect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Passive intellect is the psychological concept of knowledge that is not being actively used (as opposed to active knowledge). For example, if you simply know French, but do not happen to be speaking it at the moment, it would be considered passive knowledge. If you are speaking French, your knowledge of it is currently active knowledge for you. Passive intellect is sometimes represented by three straight lines of equal length stacked together [1].
