Opis

Skill and knowledge retention is a major issue and concern in learning and skill acquisition, especially when trained or acquired skills (or knowledge) are needed after long periods of nonuse. This book summarizes and advances the thinking of critical issues related to skill retention and decay in the context of individual and team training on complex tasks.

Recenzje

This edited book is a ‘must have volume’ for those  interested in skill decay and interventions to reduce it. Skill decay  results in performance decrements on delay retention and transfer tasks.  The focus of the book  on individual and team skill decay in complex domains is unique and valuable .  The excellent chapters in the  book offer both breadth and depth on the subject of  skill decay and ways to reduce it. --Harold F ONeil, Professor of Educational Psychology and Technology, Rossier School of Education/CRESST, University of Southern California
