Description

Considers the cognitive processes underlying the development of skill in a variety of domains ranging from general skills such as reading and recognising objects to specialised skills such as solving algebra problems and air-traffic control. The differences between novice and expert performance are discussed to illustrate theories of expertise and demonstrate the contribution of individual and environmental factors to skill acquisition. Implications for training and assessing skilled performance are considered.
