    In the Ericson's article (The Making of an expert) it is said that real experts must perform superior that others. So, I've heard about the movie named as "Man on Wire" which is about a juggler walking and performing on a wire lying between the Twin Towers of New York. This is definitely a superior performance as a juggler. As you aforementioned, to develop such an expertise, Petit (the character in the movie) was practicing deliberately, he did not focus on what he does as usual, but he paid attention what he could not do and set an amazing goal and to accomplish this goal he took a risk of being sent to the prison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEU7lrtehDs

    Elanur, Actually, I was trying to find the movie that you mentioned about high-wire actor (Petit). Then I realized that you have already written here. What made me so impressed about him that he worked on that about 6 years. I have read somewhere "experts view mistakes as opportunities to learn", however, this man had no chance to do mistake. the story of the guy in this link http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2015/09/30/the_real_story_behind_philippe_petits_highwire_act_in_the_walk.php

    Yes Yasin I totally agree with you about the mistake part but this man dedicated his life to perform on the wire between Twin Towers so I thought that someone who dedicates oneself to perform in a particular area develops expertise in that area eventually and we can call him an expert in being a juggler even he put his life in danger. By the way this is an extreme example of being an expert. I just try to make connections between dedication and developing an expertise through this example.

    I found his video highly interesting in that it begins with a thrilling question "when does learning start?" , it talks about the research that shows how much we learn in the womb -- from the lilt of our native language to our soon-to-be-favorite foods.

    Years ago a seminar that I attended called "brain-based learning" discussed about similar topic. It was the first time that I had learned about "when learning starts". And this video reminds me of the seminar and it is like adventures of a fetus very open to learning. It is really interesting that a fetus can understand each and every language besides its native one. And as you mentioned this video shows how much we learn in womb, which means learning starts with a fetus in womb and goes till the end of life.

    Yes, it really is interesting and hard to understand for me as well. There are various factors involved in our learning process for sure, but frankly I did not imagine the time before birth. "brain-based learning" sounds like an efficient keyword to achieve new knowledge on this topic.

    It is really interesting to see that fetuses behave like the photocopies of their mothers. They can nearly comrehend everthing during their life in their mothers' belly. I think this video implies many ideas for the improvement of future generations and of course warnings and precautions for the pregnant women.

    Language acquisition process of babies is a real miracle.They are born with certain tendencies towards their mother language which is an indicator that they strart language learning before birth as mentioned in the video recording. Moreover, they acquire their native language in an incredible speed without any special training. Thus, this video reminded me a major debate in understanding language acquisition: Is language an innate or learned abilitiy?
  • canannn on 04 Oct 13
     
    I agree that such research can be influential in discussing precautions or alternative perspectives for pregnant women and also for all involved in the study of learning. About the language acquisition, the very interesting question you raised has a long history of debate as you already mentioned. Maybe additional research in the future will help to put more light on the issue.

    I tried ''http://www.lumosity.com''. - 'Your brain's innate neuroplasticity gives it the ability to physically change in response to new, challenging experiences. Your Training Program is designed to harness this neuroplasticity and give your brain a personalized set of challenges.' I really would love to try the training programme, if it would be free :)

    What is the place of 'talent' in the topic of expertise ? Even The making of an expert says that in addition to talent of Mozart he has a father,skilled composer, facilitating him which makes Mozart: Mozart. Then the question comes, innate talent does really need an 10000 hours to become an expert or can ordinary people be an expert with 20 hours!
