So I’m just starting on Accelerated Expertise and my god is this a heavy lift.
I’m going to leave these book screenshots here and see if anyone picks up on the bombshell implications.

- Teaching simplified concepts and then progressively complexifying is bad.
- Recall memory doesn't help with inferential understanding/advanced knowledge acquisition.
- So spaced repetition recall of facts are bad! (You need to promote 'adaptive schema assembly'.)

- Storehouse model of memory is bad (fact memorisation, practice + immediate feedback — bad)
- Cognitive load theory is true but not useful (experts operate with distractions).
- 'Learning advances (only?) when flawed mental models are replaced, stable when model is refined'

- 'Advanced learning is promoted by emphasising the interconnectedness of multiple cases and concepts along multiple dimensions, and use of multiple highly organised representations.' -> holy shit.
I might need to rethink what I know about expertise acquisition.

We'll see ;-) The connections aren't useful if they are spurious, and a novice is more likely to produce spurious connections than an expert.

I'll report back to you when I'm done with the book, but my understanding is that these representations and connections are extracted from somewhere, and not built up from notes in some note taking tool.
