133. Patterns are fast, rules are slow

I was reading the Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance edited by K. Anders Ericsson yesterday, and after going through a chapter on medical experts, something struck me about the nature of expertise, automaticity, and Kahnemann and Tversky's System 1 vs. System 2 (also known as dual-process theory, popularised by their book Thinking, Fast and Slow), which joined together what I know about chess players, doctors, and how literacy works. I'm excited to share it with you today. Enjoy the episode. *** RELATED EPISODES 11. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnemann 17. Blink by Malcolm Gladwell 24. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell 52.
