This special issue groups together examples for studies on professional knowledge, differing in their theoretical approaches and taken from various occupational fields in order to contribute to insights in the processes of use and of change of that type of knowledge.
Rambow and Bromme, for instance, find larger differences between the architects studied with increasing professional experience, although the latter's practical activity is relatively unified as compared to the extremely heterogeneous theoretical approaches required in their academic training.
Professions constitute cultural contexts within a society and, as in cross-cultural psychology, comparison of different cultures reveals common patterns as well as specific aspects of the knowledge which is necessary to act within ones own culture.

This category currently also includes archaeological industries which are similar to archaeological cultures but are limited only to artefact types.
