Conceptually, grokking reminds me of the concept presented in the book The Dip
Most people, for most tasks, will only learn/train/try to improve, up to where they get to a flat or negative return curve per unit of effort put in
But, the people that are the best at a certain task, usually implies they got through The Dip in the curve of return per effort
- CuriouslyC 2y agoI've read research that showed that among people who were top 1% skill wise, it was very common for them to have had early instructors who focused on skill development as play relative to the population at large. Because they learned to enjoy the process, the outcome didn't matter as much, and they could stay motivated to progress. Tournaments and other competitive activities also provide a way to maintain motivation - they're often graded so you can compete against others of a similar skill level, and competitive success can provide motivation to train harder even when absolute progress slows down.
