Explicating visual tacit knowledge in industrial welding inspection with context-aware cognitive pathway graph

Key Points

• Visual knowledge is critical in welding inspection strategies and impacts performance outcomes significantly.
• Findings highlight a connection between contextual awareness and the decision-making processes in welding inspections.
• The analysis employs cognitive pathway graphs to map out the inspection protocols within industrial settings.
• These insights support the idea that enhancing cognitive awareness can improve inspection quality and training programs.
