Abstract
Ever since the seminal publication by Ericsson and Smith (1991), the expert performance approach has dominated expertise research and has led to increased insight into the mechanisms causing expert performance. From identifying criterion tasks at which expert performers excel (Stage 1), to unraveling the mediating mechanisms that explain expert performance (Stage 2), to analyzing how learning and practice contribute to these mechanisms and identifying implications for effective coaching and teaching (Stage 3), the expert performance approach provides an all-encompassing framework that informs expertise theory and educational practice.
