I don't think there is anything about this in the actual research underlying the Dunning-Kruger effect. They didn't study people over time as they learned about new subjects. They studied people at one time, different people with differing levels of competence at that time.
- janalsncm 1y agoYou could chart the same curve by measuring the confidence of people at different competence levels.
- pdonis 1y ago"Could" based on what research?
- FloorEgg 1y agoIt's the relationship of confidence and competence. Competence is gained over time. The "over time" is almost self-evident since no one is born a master of a skill or subject. And if it's not self-evident enough for you, there is lots of research into what it takes to develop competency and mastery in any subject. So while the original paper was a snapshot taken at one point in time, it was a snapshot of many people at different stages of a learning journey... And journeys take place over time.
- pdonis 1y agoI responded to this in another post in response to you upthread. The short version is that I don't agree with you about what is and is not "self-evident" here, nor will I accept your unsupported word that whatever research does exist supports your claims.
- FloorEgg 1y agoInteresting. So just to be clear... You are claiming that it is not self-evident that people learn things over time? That it's not self-evident that experts start out as beginners?
- pdonis 1y agoPlease respond in the other subthread where I made my points in more detail. As you will see from that more detailed post, I never made either of the claims you are asking about here.
