dc.description.abstract	The last decade has witnessed a considerable amount of research aimed at understanding the cognitive mechanisms underpinning expert behaviour. In a recent article, we evaluated the progress made through the eyes of an outstanding, albeit fictional, expert: Sherlock Holmes (Didierjean & Gobet, 2008). The aim of the present article is twofold: to reflect on the different ways literary citations can be used, and to illustrate to what extent the study of Sherlock Holmes can help us make progress in the understanding of experts’ cognition.	en
