K. Anders Ericson is one of the editors of that Cambridge Handbook and he is also the author of that study linked above. I have not read the handbook yet, but as near as I can tell he is the world's leading authority on this question and I found that linked paper easy to grok. The quickest way into the literature is probably to follow his citations.

I have not done this yet either. If you do it and find something useful I would like to know about it. I am going through a mid-life career transition and wary of biting off more than I can chew up and swallow.
