People perform skills every day - ranging from simple tasks such as walking (although this is not simple for a 10 month old child?) through to much more complex skills such as gymnastics routines. Elite sportspeople perform complex tasks repeatedly and with high success rates whilst beginners start off with basic movements and make many mistakes. Skill Acquisition is the study of how people develop skills and become successful performers. This program clearly investigates the basic concepts of acquiring skills and information processing and applies these to human performance.
