By analyzing the results of experiments that use a wide variety of
training tasks including those that were predominantly perceptual,
cognitive, or motoric, this volume answers such questions as: Why
do some people forget certain skills faster than others? What kind
of training helps people retain new skills longer? Inspired by the
work of Harry Bahrick and the concept of "permastore," the
contributors explore the Stroop effect, mental calculation,
vocabulary retention, contextual interference effects,
autobiographical memory, and target detection. They also summarize
an investigation on specificity and transfer in choice reaction
time tasks. In each chapter, the authors explore how the degree to
which reinstatement of training procedures during retention and
transfer tests accounts for both durability and specificity of
training. Researchers and administrators in education and training
will find important implications in this book for enhancing the
retention of knowledge of skills. "You have to read this book.
Anyone interested in training will want to read it. This book
provides the theoretical bases of the acquisition of durable skills
for the next decade. It advances and demonstrates a new principle
of skill learning that will prove to be as important as the
encoding specificity principle and its corollary, the principle of
transfer appropriate processing. This new principle is that highly
practiced skill learning will be durable when the retention test
embodies the procedures employed during acquisition. This
principle, and the other important findings reported in this text,
will have a great impact on the evolution of memory theory and on
the wide range of applications." --Douglas Hermann, University of
Maryland
