Skill Acquisition and Training describes the building blocks of
cognitive, motor, and teamwork skills, and the factors to take into
account in training them. The basic processes of perception,
cognition and action that provide the foundation for understanding
skilled performance are discussed in the context of complex task
requirements, individual differences, and extreme environmental
demands. The role of attention in perceiving, selecting, and
becoming aware of information, in learning new information, and in
performance is described in the context of specific skills. A theme
throughout this book is that much learning is implicit; the types
of knowledge and relations that can profitably be learned
implicitly and the conditions under which this learning benefits
performance are discussed. The question of whether skill
acquisition in cognitive domains shares underlying mechanisms with
the acquisition of perceptual and motor skills is also addressed
with a view to identifying commonalities that allow for widely
applicable, general theories of skill acquisition. Because the
complexity of real-world environments puts demands on the
individual to adapt to new circumstances, the question of how
skills research can be applied to organizational training contexts
is an important one. To address this, this book dedicates much
content to practical applications, covering such issues as how
training needs can be captured with task and job analyses and how
to maximize training transfer by taking trainee self-efficacy and
goal orientation into account. This comprehensive yet readable
textbook is optimized for students of cognitive psychology looking
to understand the intricacies of skill acquisition.
