Learning Parameterized Skills (2012, neutral): “These observations are consistent with recent theories of how human experts acquire professional levels of achievement, which propose that skill improvement involves deliberate efforts to change particular aspects of performance [23].”
The Automation-by-Expertise-by-Training Interaction (2017, background): “(p. 80) Ericsson (2006) described three phases of training through which people gain expertise.”
Development and Validation of a New Measure of Intuition: The Types of Intuition Scale (2014, background): “Although the undergraduate music students in this sample had a great deal of experience in their field, it is arguable whether they were true experts by the 10-year, 10 000-hour rule (Ericsson, 2006).”
Effectual versus predictive logics in entrepreneurial decision making: Differences between experts and novices: Does experience in starting new ventures change the way entrepreneurs think? Perhaps, but for now, "Caution" is essential (2009, neutral): “Effectuation argues that expert entrepreneurs use a logic of non-predictive control to transform means at hand into new outcomes that they themselves may not have initially envisaged (Ericsson, 2006a,b,c; Yates and Tschirhart, 2006).”
An expert performance approach to the study of individual differences in self-regulated learning activities in upper-level college students (2012, methodology): “Furthermore, several studies have shown that deliberate practice activities have metacognitive and motivational components, in addition to the behavioral component of engaging in practice (for a review, see Ericsson, 2006b).”
State of Research on Giftedness and Gifted Education: A Survey of Empirical Studies Published During 1998—2010 (April) (2011, background): “For example, the paradigm shift, if any, has been partly shaped by research in the cognitive psychology, particularly with respect to how expertise develops (Ericsson, 2006).”
Hidden in Plain Sight: The Active Ingredients of Executive Coaching (2009, background): “We encourage you to check out the outstanding work by Miller et al. (2007) and Ericsson (2006) for details.”
Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development (2008, background): “tend to experience substantial dropoffs in performance unless they exert sustained, deliberate efforts to maintain peak performance levels (Ericsson, 2006).”
Preparing People for Rapidly Changing Environments (2007, background): “Ericsson’s work on world-class experts in chess and other domains [25] provides an illuminating picture of the constant innovation and restructuring needed to be successful at high levels.”
Nonsense, common sense, and science of expert performance: Talent and individual differences (2014, background): “In nearly every case where individual differences measures have been administered to expert/elite and non-expert elite performers (e.g., see Ericsson, 2006; Tuffiash et al., 2007), the studies have been flawed by: (1) small samples, (2) restriction in range, (3) either poor or otherwise limited…”
Linguistic Features of Writing Quality (2010, background): “Reaching this objective will, unfortunately, take time (reading and writing) and deliberate practice (Ericsson, 2006; Kellogg, 2008).”
Expertise and expert performance in sport (2008, background): “…the mechanisms underpinning expertise provides a principled basis for determining what types of practice are most likely to be beneficial for performance enhancement and, potentially, why some people improve at different rates to others or reach much higher levels of achievement (Ericsson, 2006a).”
Expertise-Based Intuition and Decision Making in Organizations (2010, background): “The origin and nature of expertise have received much attention from researchers (for a review of the history of expertise studies, see Ericsson, 2006).”
Conclusions about Interventions, Programs, and Approaches for Improving Executive Functions that appear Justified and those that, despite much hype, do not (2015, background): “Ericsson’s conclusion about the critical importance of practice (with difficulty progressively increasing) for becoming really good at anything (e.g., Ericsson, 2006, 2009; Ericsson et al., 2009; Ericsson and Towne, 2010) appears to apply to improving EF skills just as it does to every other skill…”
