What I Have Learned Today

Today, I have learned that when you’re specialised into a field, a game or sport that requires you to spend much time in practising, you’re going to develop an intuition. However, this intuition becomes disturbing when the rules changes. This is the process cognitive entrenchment.

Because of the many practices, you’re build up clues that are indicators for your intuition. Based on these chunks, you can determinate the out-come of an event based on your experiences. Once the rules change, this becomes an issue, because you develop clues work for the rules you known. Therefore your clues will be triggered at spots where there shouldn’t. You become entrenched.
