Anders Ericsson, well-known researcher of “deliberate practice” and the “10,000 hour rule,” died yesterday, sadly.

I interviewed him a while back for Education week (‘Peak’: An Interview With Anders Ericsson & Robert Pool) and you can see quite a bit of info on his work at The Best Resources For Learning About The 10,000 Hour Rule & Deliberate Practice.

You could start with Another Study On Value Of Practice Misses The Most Important Point.

Two years ago, another giant in the SEL world also died (see RIP, WALTER MISCHEL, ORIGINATOR OF THE MARSHMALLOW TEST. HERE IS AN INTERVIEW I DID WITH HIM & OTHER RESOURCES).
