This is the most comprehensive textbook discussing the principles that influence the development of training. It serves any student of training, practitioners, and consultants. All aspects of educational and industrial training are currently at the center of national debate. Training serves as the first single-authored text in this area at the non-introductory level. Of special interest is the novel coverage of: expertise, skill acquisition and transfer; techniques for analysing tasks and skills; systems approaches to training development; training methods; theories of training design; simulation and the role of computers in training; and trainee characteristics and learning strategies.
