PASSAGE
Research on expertise reveals that professional intuition—the ability to make rapid, accurate judgments—develops only in domains with consistent feedback and stable patterns. Chess masters develop strong intuition; financial market predictors generally do not, because market signals are too noisy and feedback is inconsistent.
What determines whether expert intuition develops?
A. Expert intuition develops equally in all professional fields.
B. Reliable intuition requires consistent feedback and predictable patterns in the domain.✓ Correct
C. Financial markets are perfectly predictable.
D. Chess masters have no intuitive skills.
Detailed Explanation
Intuition requires 'consistent feedback and stable patterns'—chess has them, markets don't.
Key Evidence:
• "consistent feedback and stable patterns"
• "market signals are too noisy"
Why others are wrong: A (Development varies by domain.), C ('Noisy and inconsistent' = not predictable.), D (They 'develop strong intuition.').
