Writing online can be weird. I write about the recognition primed decision making model in the past, it doesn't make a splash. But I write about tacit knowledge *first*, and people are saying "oh, how do you actually learn that; how do you put that into practice ...?"

I feel bad for my long term readers, because I'm likely going to have to cover old ground again.
(If you want a preview, much of what you need to know about learning tacit knowledge can be found in commoncog.com/blog/putting-m — you just have to work out the implications.)

How do you work out the implications?
First: understand that the recognition-primed decision making model is how expert intuition works under the hood.
Next: look at the model and identify what parts are trainable.
Third, look at how NDM researchers design training programs.

Everything exists in one diagram. It's actually pretty amazing.
When I see someone demonstrating tacit expertise today, I ask: what cues is she noticing? What expectancies? What's the prototype in their head like? What activity can I do to gain the same bits of information?

The NDM people have way more sophisticated approaches, of course. But fundamentally, when they're creating training programs for the military or designing human-friendly user interfaces to augment human expertise, they are doing the same thing.

Her work with NICU nurses is amazing!
Also, my trick to discover more NDM researchers is really to subscribe to naturalisticdecisionmaking.org/podcasts/

Thank you. I’m enjoying your blog. It’s helping me go deeper with my own thinking and finding new insight from books I first read about five years ago
