That's how I explain it.

I add that its a cycle in that during the third "stage" with one skill you are still in the first "stage" with another. When you hit the fourth "stage" of that skill you begin the second "stage" of the next developing skill.

IMHO, "mastery" is an ongoing ever-refining process, not a "stage" we stay in or get to keep.

Also agree, George Leonard's book on Mastery talks about reframing or redefining those learning plateaus in a much more useful way.

Sports/performance psychology is fill with good stuff.

Thoughts?

Thanks for reminding us.
Lynn.
'Reframing or redefining those learning plateaus in a much more useful way' is what drew me to this. I agree. I have in fact developed my own framework for such which I use when helping anyone 'stuck' in the course of studying, no matter what it is they are studying.

Mine is an overall cycle made up of eleven separate plateaus, levels of understanding.

You have reminded me here that maybe I should do something with it rather than just use it, ie: share it more. Maybe I should write it down in some form. Thanks for the reminder.
