Document Summary

Extensive, highly organized knowledge and understanding of a particular domain. Expertise shows up more among middle-aged or older adults: distinguishing novices from experts: Experts know what to focus on and what to ignore (based on experience) Experts rely on accumulated knowledge to solve problems; as you get immersed in the field, you need head knowledge and the practical knowledge of working these things out on a daily basis. Thinking that is reflective (overthinking, looking at it from different angles; you can turn this off), relativistic (rules apply in different places), and contextual ( in this context this is what"s best ) Recognition that the correct answer to a problem requires reflective thinking and may vary from one situation to another. Postformal thinkers become more skeptical about the truth and seem unwilling to accept an answer as final. Understand that thinking can"t always be abstract; in some instances, it must be realistic and pragmatic.
