Synopsis
Providing a coherent picture of how research on skills is conducted, this volume brings together findings from a number of disciplines to enrich our current understanding of human skills.
Taking an information-processing approach, the authors provide an historical and conceptual introduction and examine research studies in which comparatively simple laboratory tasks are used to investigate skill. They then consider performance of more complex tasks that impose greater demands on attention and memory. The book concludes by focusing on expertise in specific real-world situations, discussing applications to areas such as: training; the role of individual differences in abilities; situational performance-shaping factors; and the role of computational models.
