CPD: Cognitive Sciences Level 3 (by Dr Robert Hausmann), topic 1.5.1
Mountains of Knowledge
The differences between experts and novices is fairly obvious when you restrict your observations to the outcome of their performance.
For example...
- A sommelier can tell you which region of France a wine comes from, the acidity of the soil where the grapes were grown, and how the wine compares to others in the same category.
- A novice may only be able to distinguish reliably between wines that are red versus white.
