In Response To: Expert Mind Article - Link (Hardy Hübener)

Thanks for the link Hardy, excellent article. A few quick notes from me.

when he showed that the study of Latin, for instance, did not improve command of English

I do not believe this period.

Chess memory was thus shown to be even more specific than it had seemed, being tuned not merely to the game itself but to typical chess positions

Really? Rofl.. really? I think the article was definitely a good article but when I see things in print that are a study and it boils down to common sense, makes me want to throw a Kit Kat.

the scratch pad of the mind--in a 1956 paper entitled "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two

I, too, thought this was something everyone knew or learned. I don't know if this is the actual limit or what we become accustomed to, but the first time I ever thought about it was the length of phone numbers.

The preponderance of psychological evidence indicates that experts are made, not born

I believe they are born. Sure, there's nobody who climbed to the top without putting in their man hours but not everyone who put in the hours they put in would wind up in the same place they did. Again, it's their love of what they're doing that propelled them to the top.
