Skill Acquisition: Models
Todd R. Johnson, Hongbin Wang, Jiajie Zhang · Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science · 2005
Abstract Skill acquisition is the process whereby a learner progresses from slow, deliberate, memory‐intensive, error‐prone performance on a task, to rapid, automatic, near‐error‐free performance. The process applies to activities ranging from simple perceptual–motor tasks, such as pushing a button whenever a light comes on or shifting gears in a car, to complex cognitive tasks, such as playing chess or diagnosing diseases.
