Skill Acquisition Rates and Patterns : Issues and Training Implications (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1987)

Skill Acquisition Rates and Patterns reviews and synthesizes the data and findings from the literature on skill acquisition, learning, retention, and transfer.

This integrative review deals with the domain of time as it influences performance, i.e. with changes in capability to perform that occur as a function of time of practice.

The author stresses the applicability of available information to the estimation of an appropriate time course for training and to related areas of potential training improvements.
