Heli on Connectivism: "I try to conceptualize the development of expertise in ill-defined, open questions." She writes, summarizing (?) Eteläpelto A. The Development of Expertise in Information Systems Design (1998): "complex cognitive skills are learned through the acquisition of large integrated chunks of knowledge. Chunks take the form of larger, more detailed conditions and actions of production rules. Larger conditions provide more precise specifications of the circumstances under which the action is appropriate. Reduction in the need to access declarative memory allows speedier rule-firing due to increase in the strengths of rules which are needed in each successful application." (Except... and here again maybe language is a barrier... humans don't fire rules. That's how production systems think, but humans are not production systems.)
