Abstract: Before the distributed cognitive theory and social constructivism proposed, the individual cognitive mechanisms were mainly concerned, especially for the individual explicit knowledge to study. After the distributed cognition theory proposed, people began to pay more attention to the mechanisms of the knowledge dissemination within the group or organization, but the theory still only explain the explicit knowledge dissemination and sharing mechanism. Tacit knowledge is another main form in the human knowledge treasure, furthermore, a more important knowledge form than the explicit knowledge，and it is the major source and base of knowledge innovation. How to explain the dissemination and sharing mechanisms of tacit knowledge and manage it effectively, especially within different individuals in the groups or organizations has always been a problem hanging in doubt, which has become a focus in the field of knowledge management. On the basis of the comprehensive analysis and summary of tacit knowledge, social constructivism and distributed cognitive theory, combined with enterprise knowledge management practices and a long-term research basis, the interactive cognitive theory was proposed for the revealing of cognitive mechanisms of the tacit knowledge. Interactive cognition means the mutual influence and interaction of the different knowledge bodies in cognitive process. Both knowledge dissemination forms of master train apprentice and Communities of Practice in the common practice of business management are the best examples to explain the cognitive mechanisms of the tacit knowledge cognitive mechanism.

Key words: interactive cognition, tacit knowledge, cognitive mechanism, distributed cognition, social constructivism
