Anders Ericsson on the science of expertise | Larry King Now | Ora.TV

Watch the Full Larry King Now Interview Here: www.ora.tv/larrykingnow
He's the expert on experts. Dr. Anders Ericsson joins Larry to explain the key to becoming an expert; if Serena Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Steve Jobs qualify; and whether there's any science to back up the idea that some people are "born with it."

    Great piece. Dr. Ericsson is truly an expert on his research in this field and all of his data support this. So many people have degrees by their name but no outcomes that they are better than the next person in their field. He draws a good distinction in the two kinds of experts. Those that have produced greatness over and over again and then those who deem themselves to be experts based on experience and knowledge. The latter uses their peers to rate them and their research that gets published but not always quantifiable outcomes. That can be the grey area especially medical doctors, as most are not measured by outcomes. This is changing though.

    Ericsson is in fact a complete fool.His assertions are fundamentally flawed, and he has been proven to be incorrect in regards to deliberate practice.Deliberate practice is not the cause of great performance. This has now been proven that genetics are more important than practice.

    To develop expertise we have to invest into how we can perceive. The biggest obstacle is usually our ego. Expertise is a result of developing objectivity. I don't agree that deliberate practice isn't necessary enjoyable or motivating. Employing the technique of bringing linguistic thinking (as in 'thinking outlaid') into problem solving is a deep part of Alexander technique.

    It isn't enjoyable. If you're having fun then it's probably not deliberate practice. Deliberate practice requires you to do things CONSTANTLY that you can't do. This is frustrating. And it isn't motivating because you wont see any progress. If you do deliberate practice you'll find that you are constantly bad at something which isn't enjoyable nor motivating.

    Tiger woods was recognised as superior when he was 2 years old. He dominated everything even before adopting professional status. Also IQ cannot be improved in any way doesnt matter how many Sudokus you solve. Of course any talent will also amass a ridiculous amount of time practicing. But then there is John Daly who said practice makes him worse. So yeah. As if these people have a clue. Id like a Study on failed athletes, musicians, artists, scientists. Of course if youre good at it you do it a lot. Its just a nobrainer statement.

    I’d wager the failed athletes, artists, etc use deliberate practice and all the other forms the masters use. They just don’t have the innate talent.

    this is rediculous. How would Ericsson explain the countless individuals who have been training in close collaboration with expert coaches, for decades on end, yet who remain poor performers in their field. It is blatantly obvious that deliberate practice cannot under any circumstances account for the enormous variation in the abilities between individuals. Twin studies thoroughly refute the idea that innate factors are not at least equally important as the practice/training regime. Inherited traits such as IQ and cognitive performance are known with certainty to have a profound influence on performance. Yet how would practicing improve these when there is no evidence that IQ can be altered, certainly not after the onset of adult hood.Estimations put general intellect at between 50% and 80% inherited, and there are no known methods shown to reliably increase general intellect in adults. It is a forgone conclusion that general intellect must greatly influence ones ability to perform any task.If this were not the case, humans would never have build powerful computers.Why would they if a less powerful computer could do the same work as a super computer? The whole argument is utterly rediculous. Deliberate practice is not the answer, end of story...

Or perhaps I did employ enormous amounts of deliberate practice to spelling, yet failed to learn regardless? Could a cognitive shortcoming be the cause, rather than training? Very probably yes. As it happens, Ericssons own data clearly shows deliberate practice is not the cause of expert performance.

His research was riddled with misrepresentations of fact, and he made statements which were not supported by his own data/evidence, or more accurately made statements that directly contradicted the data he collected during his research.
