2. What is modelling?

It is a commonly held belief that “natural ability” in a particular area is something that is unique to an individual and therefore very difficult to duplicate. When experts are asked how they perform their skill set, they usually say, “It just happens” or “It comes naturally to me.” In most cases, they are unable to consciously explain the processes they go through to achieve their result. 

Modelling is the process of discovering these apparently “indescribable skill sets”. By modelling an expert’s skill set, mental processes, state and behaviour, that same skill set can be transferred to others. The Emerging Mind offers training programs to achieve this outcome.

As a by-product of modelling, experts themselves can often improve and achieve greater flexibility within their skill set.
