English term or phrase: nouse

Anyone from Yorkshire around?

In the book that I am translating, in this chapter the author is talking about emotional intelligence.

In this specific paragraph, it says:

Hedlund and Sternberg (2000) considered that what differentiates emotional from social and practical intelligence is "tacit knowledge." That is, the knowledge that it is not taught, but acquired as part of everyday living. The idea is vividly captured in Yorkshire dialect by the term "nouse!"

I cannot find "nouse" in English dictionaries. Maybe someone familiar with the Yorkshire dialect can tell me the meaning of "nouse" in English so I can translate it into Spanish.

Thank you very much.

Santiago Feely

sentido común

Explanation:
Si, es un dialecto que se usa en Yorkshire. En wikipedia hay una explicación en inglés que dice que "nouse" significa intelecto o sentido común. Creo, por lo que dice el texto que estás traduciendo, que la mejor opción acá es "sentido común" ya que señala que es aquelo que se adquiere en las experiencias de la vida diaria.

intelecto/inteligencia/sentido común

Explanation:
"The name comes from the Ancient Greek word nous – meaning **intellect, or common sense** – and the local River Ouse and is pronounced /ˈnuːz/ nooz, not dissimilar from "news""

En psicología, correspondería a la inteligencia fluida, frente a la inteligencia cristalizada (formada a partir de lo que vamos aprendiendo).
