K. Anders Ericsson was a prominent psychologist known for his research on expertise and the development of skills. He proposed the idea of "deliberate practice," emphasizing that consistent, focused practice over time can lead to exceptional performance in various fields, from music to sports. Ericsson challenged the notion of innate talent, suggesting that anyone can achieve high levels of skill through dedication and the right practices. His work has had a significant influence on education, training, and understanding how individuals can master complex tasks through effort and effective learning strategies.
