I found the articles extremely informative and my brain buzzed some more about analytical versus intuitive decision-making and the role of intuition in skill acquisition and development. Thanks for making me think!<br /><br />I participate in a weekly chat with other L&D folks and intuition was the topic for the day last week! Do join us at #lrnchat (@lrnchat) sometime. #lrnchat is on Thursdays at 8:30-9:30pm ET/5:30-6:30pm PT. I am sure you will find it interesting.

I r...Thank you for your comment and feedback Raman. I really enjoyed reading your post on the universal abilities and agree with these abilities.<br /><br />I have always been very curious about the ability to make intuitive decisions. Although some theorists and general public opinion is that intuition and analytical thinking are at the opposite ends of the continuum; I feel you can't have one without the other. <br /><br />To me, analytical thinking done for previous experiences acts as an input for intuitive decision making done for new experiences. <br /><br />This is a such a great topic to learn and explore more about!

And this self fulfilling prophecy of these non experts is confusing and disheartening for people like me who know there is no shortcut to expertise and are trying to get there one step at a time along this list. This is another myth that needs debunking (it is The Debunker Club's Debunk Learning Styles Month after all!) and I look at you to help us get there!

Your list is dead-on in terms of what to look for in a credible expert. One tip: They don't refer to themselves as "experts".

I agree with you in that there are perhaps different types of experts and our definitions of experts and non-experts are sort of based on our own experiences and rewards (or challenges) of working with Subject Matter Experts or other domain experts. <br />After I researched, I realized that much of what we see and read about expertise is based on the work of Chi et al. (1981) involving the studies of how experts and novices differ in solving problems. But Hatano and Inagaki (1986), described two types of expertise. They called it routine expertise (or classic expertise) and adaptive expertise. And it is quite interesting to read about the distinction that they offer in defining these two types of expertise. I have a feeling that some of our comments during the chat were coming from our experience of these two different types of expertise. <br />As you can gather, I am still reading and uncovering many more interesting aspects about this topic and will definitely reflect and post more as I learn. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />TarunaTaruna Goelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838323858110552415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825281942550168796.post-12123655144023274232015-05-30T17:06:29.887-07:002015-05-30T17:06:29.887-07:00Nice synthesis.

Strange enough we can agree on who is an expert or not in a given field but we have difficulties to agree on a definition. Maybe there are different types of experts. The domain, the role played could be differentiating them. Teaching experts (good at sharing), doing experts (can do or work on a domain better, faster than others), though leaders experts (find new knowledge, new way to combine or expose existing one).Bruno Winck, Kneaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536001201207605692noreply@blogger.com
