Continuous Improvement in Expertise
Cognitive transformation theory explains how individuals become experts through trial and error learning. People learn from mistakes by updating their mental models based on experiences and pain.

Experts differentiate themselves by constantly questioning and seeking areas for improvement, even when making minimal mistakes.
