Discuss the role of intuition in expert cognition. How do experts use intuition? How does it differ from the way novices might employ intuition? What are possible outcomes of the reliance on intuition by experts?

Increased accuracy, increased speed at solving problems, and prevention of errors
are possible outcomes when experts use their intuition.
