This book discusses the construct of 'accelerated learning' in acquiring the knowledge, proficiency and skills to perform tasks in countless highly skilled jobs and professions. The findings will leverage technologies and capabilities including virtual training, cross-training, training across strategic and tactical levels, and training for resilience and adaptivity. "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
