Reviews

This is a very important book, taking the issue of skill development to its limit. Anyone interested in skill development will want to read this for the state-of-the-art and for its goldmine of ideas for accelerated learning and facilitated retention. - Douglas Herrman, Editor Emeritus, Cognitive Technology The authors use a systematic and thorough approach to identify and evaluate issues and research underlying learning, skill, and knowledge retention and requirements for successful application of accelerated learning. As well, they use a wealth of references-listed on 46 pages, nearly 20 percent of the total length of the book-to support their findings and recommendations. - Dr. David Schroeder, PsycCRITIQUES
