Hoffman 4.30 · ![[./resources/book-the-cambridge-handbook-of-expertise-and-exper.resources/embedded.svg]] Rating details · 138 ratings · 6 reviews This book was the first handbook where the world’s foremost ’experts on expertise’ reviewed our scientific knowledge on expertise and expert performance and how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of their development, training, reasoning, knowledge, social support, and innate talent. Methods are described for the study of experts’ knowledge and their performance of representative tasks from their domain of expertise. The development of expertise is also studied by retrospective interviews and the daily lives of experts are studied with diaries. In 15 major domains of expertise, the leading researchers summarize our knowledge on the structure and acquisition of expert skill and knowledge and discuss future prospects. General issues that cut across most domains are reviewed in chapters on various aspects of expertise such as general and practical intelligence, differences in brain activity, self-regulated learning, deliberate practice, aging, knowledge management, and creativity.

K. Anders Ericsson, Neil Charness,(both of Florida State Univ.) and P.J. Feltovich, & R. R. Hoffman (both of Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition). 901 pages. Anthology of 42 scholarly articles on various aspects of expertise, divided into six sections: overview; methodology; acquisition/maintenance of expertise; research methods; domains of expertise (professions, arts/sports/motor skills, games) and generalizable mechanisms mediating expertise <–fascinating section) I read 18 of the essays. My favorites were: “The Influence of Experience and Deliberate Practice on the Development of Superior Expert Performance,” by K. Anders Ericsson; “A Merging Theory of Expertise and Intelligence,” by John Horn & Hiromi Masunaga; “Modes of Expertise in Creative Thinking: Evidence from Case Studies,” by Robert Weisberg; “Professional Writing Expertise,” by Robert T. Kellogg; “Educators and Expertise: A Brief History of Theories and Models,” by R.J. Amirault & R. K Branson; and “Aging and Expertise,” by Ralf Th.Krampe & Neil Charness. I also read about “Expertise in Medicine and Surgery,” by Geoff Norman, Kevin Eva, Lee Brooks, & Stan Hamstra; “Expertise in Software Design,” by Sabine Sonnentag, Cornelia Niessen, & Judith Volmer; “Social and Sociological Factors in the Development of Expertise,” by Harold Mieg; “Decision-Making Expertise,” by J. Frank Yates & Micheal D. Tschirhart; “The Making of a Dream Team: When Expert Teams do Best,” by Eduardo Salas, Michael A. Rosen, et al; and other articles.Overall, expertise is defined as 1)requiring usually ten+ years of “deliberate practice” (K. Anders Ericsson’s term) to acquire; 2)being linked with increasingly depth and breadth of knowledge/skill in a specific domain; 3)improving with age (!),until some decline in one’s 70s–as contrasted with non-expert learning/performance, which begins to decline in early adulthood; 4) requiring lifelong deliberate practice to maintain. There are both differences and similarities across domains of expertise, as one would expect. (less) flag 1 like · Like · comment · see review Jun 01, 2007 Tim rated it really liked it Quite good.
