Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
This project explores how long it takes for highly creative people to reach world-class performance levels. It will focus on artists, scientists or chess masters.
Herbert Simon (1983) points out that most of the 'aha!' experiences that have been reported in the literature of creativity happened only to people who possess the appropriate knowledge. Pasteur stressed that inspiration comes only to the prepared mind. It is therefore important to explore the performance development of such outstanding humans.
Some studies stress that hardly anyone can produce world-class performances without having first put in at least ten years of intensive learning and practice.
