Funded Activity Summary
The Development of Speed Skill. The power function has been the unquestioned law linking practice to human response time for 30 years and is the basis for all current theories of human skill acquisition. Our recent work has overturned the power law in favour of an exponential law. This project uses a combination of computer simulation and experimentation with both adults and children to determine the generality of the exponential law and to develop theory that can accommodate it. Developmental and practice effects will be compared in four fundamental cognitive tasks and new estimation methodologies tested, resulting in quantifiable improvements in education and training practices.Funded Activity Details
