In this article, the author's comments are divided into two parts. In the first part, he tries to compose succinct formulations of the three challenges with which Professor Ericsson has confronted giftedness researchers. The following are Ericsson's three challenges of giftedness research: (1) Is there empirical evidence that reproducibly superior performance can be reliably predicted by innate talents after deliberate practice has been statistically controlled? (2) Is there empirical evidence for genetic influences on superior performance which result from behavioral genetic studies which fulfil the fundamental standards accepted by the scientific community? (3) Is there sound empirical evidence that shows there are persons who exhibit reproducibly superior performance as the result of any gifted program? In the second part of his commentary, the author poses questions with three main points to Professor Ericsson. They are concerned with Ericsson's approach to the acquisition of expertise which the author fundamentally agrees with: performance changes as a transition from one state, S[i], to another state, S[i+1].
