Q’s of the day
Why fail develop expertise despite continuing in domain
Relevance to everyday life.
K basketball peak and plateau
●Freshman year of HS
●CYO team
Note flow expende scoring goal.
Deliberate practise like suicides, jump rope. Instead of just playing.
●Freshman HS team
●St Brigit’s and Shake and Bake;
●Sophomore year and thereafter.
Reach peak, plateau, regress and ask y?
Assume ceiling, never realized he stopped putting in the effort.
Hoosiers
Practise lose interest, reach plateau, do not have dedication to continue.
Example of deliberate practise
Practises not designed for enjoyment. Goal to build specific skills.
Key to improvement focusing on thi you don’t like to do, less fun. But so imp.
Types of experience
Deliberate practise: individualized trainign on a task by a specialized teacher. Drills, flashcards, testing, music scales but also varying a theme need to do.
Often we stop at some point once reached a point feel good enough to have fun.
Play: primary goal is the inherent enjoyment.
One possible cost, won’t get rewarded by improving. No attention and repetition.
Woek: public performances, competitions, or other performance motivated by $. Goal reliable production. Not usually improvement, so not deliberate practise. Hmmm. Just money. No improvement.
Used lessons skiing ex. Sophie 3l
Most do 30hrs deliberate practise, feel good enough. Never do deliberate practise again. Assume get better by playing but no.
Golf ex. Ppl quit after 2 yrs, get no better. Stop deliberate practise oops.
Europeans focus on skill development meaning
Less games, more skilled.
Overestimate how much we learn in games, competitions performances etc. hmm.
Ericsson hockey and tennis ex.
Boob vallerand
Basketball guy, .
Great career great practise. Janitor let in to play when no one was there.
Why deliberate practise so imp. 4 things for learning and remembering it
1 Goal to attend to the task and proving perforamcne.
Attending and improving.
2. Explicit instructions about best methods of improvement. Coaching drills!
3. Immediate feedback
4. Repetition for overlearning. Automatic
Hockey, tennis, baseball
Gaol and immediate feedback for
Deliberate practise
Self control and
Flow
Surprising fact that what is true for leisure activities is also true for
Work. Therefore experience is weakly related to level of performance (working memory capacity too)
Experience usually does not include deliberate practise.
Psychotherapy yrs expected unrelated to client outcomes.
Kids teens para professionals a well as or better than psychs.
Doctors need at least 2 years after no change.
Amateur vs expert delib pract
Plot it, for piano player. Amateur practises same amount of number of years, once 10-11, dramatically deliberate practise.
Not easy. Can only do about and hour at a time. 4 hour max. Repetitive stress id order. So this applies to studying and music practise.
Overuse injuries, PSYC breakdowns. Increase gradually better.
Does delib practise explain the truly gret?
Argument for tiger, waynesteve, and genie.
Better coaches, longer time and intensity many years.
Bouchard practise and mental toughness imp.
The mono tonic benefits assumption
Perforamcne = amount of de liberated practise per week accumulated.
Study musicians 3 levels
Regional, national, international.
Regional only had 5000 hours of deliberate practise.
10000 for international expertise.
Musician 20 rs old. Sometimes started later.
No one was a natural. No grinders.
Found clear linear rela.
Replicated with chess,
Seems to explain truly great.
Old harder stay longer. Exposed young age, great training too
Avoid arrested development
Generalized automaticity.
Advice to aspiring expert. Looking at cognitive mechanisms.
