Speed in acquiring the knowledge and skills to perform tasks is
crucial. Yet, it still ordinarily takes many years to achieve high
proficiency in countless jobs and professions, in government,
business, industry, and throughout the private sector. There would
be great advantages if regimens of training could be established
that could accelerate the achievement of high levels of
proficiency. This book discusses the construct of 'accelerated
learning.' It includes a review of the research literature on
learning acquisition and retention, focus on establishing what
works, and why. This includes several demonstrations of accelerated
learning, with specific ideas, plans and roadmaps for doing so. The
impetus for the book was a tasking from the Defense Science and
Technology Advisory Group, which is the top level Science and
Technology policy-making panel in the Department of Defense.
However, the book uses both military and non-military exemplar case
studies. It is likely that methods for acceleration will leverage
technologies and capabilities including virtual training,
cross-training, training across strategic and tactical levels, and
training for resilience and adaptivity. This volume provides a
wealth of information and guidance for those interested in the
concept or phenomenon of "accelerating learning"- in education,
training, psychology, academia in general, government, military, or
industry.
