ABSTRACT

The general focus of this chapter is the challenge of training knowledge for particular jobs or for particular tasks. Clearly, this topic cannot be treated comprehensively in a single chapter. Rather, the chapter highlights several parameters incorporated into a number of knowledge training environments that are arguably nonoptimal, suggests modifications based on well-established principles in the basic memory literature (principles mentioned throughout this volume; see chapters 2, 3), and describes recent research that demonstrates the effectiveness of the suggested modifications.
