A specific goal, a task beyond current comfort, immediate feedback, and repetition with adjustment. Playing the pieces one already owns is not the same activity. Benjamin Bloom’s Developing Talent in Young People described families and teachers around high achievers. It is complementary history, not the violin hour-log.
Ericsson argued the method is not only for children. Windows differ by domain; the design of the hour still matters. Ericsson’s early memory-training studies (with Chase and others) showed ordinary students could expand digit span with designed practice. The 1993 Psychological Review paper with Krampe and Tesch-Römer then logged practice in Berlin music academies and named deliberate practice.

Ericsson, Chase and Faloon train a student (“SF”) to huge digit spans — a proof that “limits” can be method limits. He argues the meta-analysis mixes ordinary practice with his stricter construct. The dispute is about coding, not about whether hours are magic.
The Behavioural and Brain Sciences target article argues against innate talent as necessary — a strong nurture pole still cited. Ericsson’s early memory-training studies (with Chase and others) showed ordinary students could expand digit span with designed practice. The 1993 Psychological Review paper with Krampe and Tesch-Römer then logged practice in Berlin music academies and named deliberate practice.
This is about practice and individual craft. It is not a group IQ score. It does not replace the full topic page.
