Good job! You picked the best answer. Keep going to the next question or retry this one for extra credits.
Not quite right. Here is one of the correct answers. Retry after reading it.
Dan is not engaged in deliberate practice because of the following reasons : 1. There is no external agent giving him feedback on what he is doing wrong and how to correct it. (corrective feedback). Some of the errors might not be visible to Dan and so it is important to get that feedback from an external agent like a teacher. 2. Remedial training is effective if it is taken immediately and not after some time of getting immediate feedback from an external agent.
