Zusatztext "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!
