<b>Abstract: </b>Intellectualism about know-how claims (i) that knowing-how is reducible to propositional knowledge, and (ii) that when an agent manifests skill, she is guided by the propositional knowledge that constitutes her know-how. In recent decades,
intellectualists have argued that their view aligns well with several important insights in the cognitive sciences: insights related to our best current models of memory systems, the volitional control we exercise over habitual and unreflective behaviours,
and the features of motor representations. In this talk, I seek to undermine these claims. I argue that they all rest on an implausible characterisation about how skilled agents are “guided” by their grasp of factual knowledge. I also demonstrate that intellectualism
is often advanced by its proponents as an explanatory hypothesis and argue that it cannot plausibly fulfil this role. I conclude that intellectualism about know-how offers an implausible account of sophisticated sensorimotor skills, and especially those implicated
in unreflective behaviours. <br>
