In the book it explains being an expert. Selective expert is someone who is notably more skilled and knowledgeable than the average person about whichever activities are personally meaningful. Some things could be someone who cooks, or repair a car. though as people develop expertise in some areas, they pay less attention to others. Some experts are not necessarily those with rare and outstanding proficiency. Sometimes the term expert connotes an extraordinary genius, to researchers it means more-and less - than that. An expert is not someone ho knows more about something.The quality as well as the quantity of cognition is advanced. An expert is intuitive, automatic, strategic, and flexible. Someone who has intuitive can rely on their past when a problem comes up. Someone who is automatic, is someone who can think on the dime, someone who is quick on their feet. Strategic is someone who has good strategies when a problem comes up. Finally someone who is flexible, they can think of different ways of coming up with a solution to a problem. Someone who is an expert will have all four of those qualities.
