HR managers’ talent philosophies: prevalence and relationships with perceived talent management practices (2019, background): “Training investments, in turn, are likely to depend upon an individual’s motivation, willingness to make personal sacrifices (Ericsson et al., 2007), learning orientation, drive, and openness to feedback, all of which appertain to the growth dimension (Silzer & Church, 2009).”
Intuition in Management Research: A Historical Review (2012, unknown): “From the perspective of 'intuition-as-expertise' (Hogarth, 2001; Sadler-Smith and Shefy, 2004) informed intuition is the result of extensive and deliberate practice, reflection, feedback, and analysis (Dreyfus and Dreyfus, 1986; Ericsson, Prietula, and Cokely, 2007).”
Wallas’ Four-Stage Model of the Creative Process: More Than Meets the Eye? (2015, background): “Blind variation=selective retention Simonton (1999) Neural cliques and neurds Gabora (2010); Gabora and Ranjan (2013) Intimation Creative intuition Dane and Pratt (2009); Gore and Sadler-Smith (2012);”
The Automation-by-Expertise-by-Training Interaction (2017, background): “Ericsson, Prietula, and Cokely (2007) describe three criteria for determining expertise: performance that (a) is consistently superior to that of others, (b) leads to concrete results, and (c) can be replicated and measured in a laboratory.”
The relationship between cognitive ability and chess skill: a comprehensive meta-analysis (2016, methodology): “For example, in a Harvard Business Review article, Ericsson, Prietula, and Cokely (2007) claimed that “ there is no correlation between IQ and expert performance in ﬁ elds such as chess, music, sports, and medicine ” (p. 116).”
Deliberate practice: Is that all it takes to become an expert? (2014, unknown): “Ericsson, Prietula, and Cokely (2007) wrote more simply that “The only innate differences that turn out to be significant–and they matter primarily in sports–are height and body size” (p. 116, emphasis added).”
Individual differences, judgment biases, and theory-of-mind: Deconstructing the intentional action side effect asymmetry (2009, background): “Indeed, other individual differences such as intelligence, cognitive impulsivity, and expertise are known to influence judgment in theoretically interesting ways (Cokely, 2007; Ericsson, Prietula, & Cokely, 2007; Frederick, 2005; Shanteau, 1992; Stanovich & West, 2000).”
