ABSTRACT

The purpose of this volume is to describe the current state of the art as regards training of knowledge and skills. One of the byproducts of this effort is a set of empirically valid training principles, which appear in various forms throughout the chapters of the book. The volume pursues several interrelated sub-goals, involving reviewing existing literature, describing new empirical research conducted by the authors, formulating both a general theoretical framework and specific task-based models, and considering the applications of this basic research to important questions arising in the real world.
