Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Dane's abstract supplies the entrenchment half of T6 — expertise costs flexibility in problem solving, adaptation and idea generation — but never states that chunking enables expertise nor uses the chunk construct.
“Research suggests that as one acquires domain expertise, one loses flexibility with regard to problem solving, adaptation, and creative idea generation. Here, I reconsider this trade-off between expertise and flexibility by examining the concept of cognitive entrenchment—a high level of stability in one's domain schemas. Proposing that cognitive entrenchment varies not only with expertise but also with one's task …”

- Cognitive Entrenchment
- The agent has extensive experience, training, or successful performance in a domain, resulting in the deep expertise, internalized schemas, procedures, and pattern repertoires that define the entrenched mental model. Efficient routine performance.
This sourceFoundational formulation of cognitive entrenchment ('a high level of stability in one's domain schemas') as the expertise–flexibility trade-off. Subtitle corrected from the prime's 'A Cognitive Reappraisal' to 'A Cognitive Entrenchment Perspective'.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Dane's abstract defines cognitive entrenchment as schema stability under expertise, but does not state the claim's antecedent training or its routine-performance efficiency.
“Here, I reconsider this trade-off between expertise and flexibility by examining the concept of cognitive entrenchment—a high level of stability in one's domain schemas.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
