Recent theories of skill acquisition vary in terms of the specificity of skills. Logan's instance theory suggests that skills are highly specific to experience in that transfer is restricted to situations previously experienced. Anderson's ACT theory proposes that skills are more general, describing ...
The article examines the roles of declarative representations and task-specific procedures in the acquisition of response selection skill. Acquisition, retention, and transfer of response selection skill were examined using spatial precuing and symbolic cuing tasks. The central cognitive processes that sele...
Retention of the duration production skill was perfect across the 1-week delay when the secondary task condition was unchanged, but there was no skill transfer when that condition was changed. These findings demonstrate specificity of training, with the assumption that the cognitive operations learned...

Oligodendrocytes extend numerous cellular processes that wrap multiple times around axons to generate lipid-rich myelin sheaths. Myelin biogenesis requires an enormously productive biosynthetic machinery for generating and delivering these large amounts
In essence, the information learned on Task 1 needs to be analyzed with respect to the retrieval cues likely to be present in Task 2. One line of research that has demonstrated the importance of cuing relationships has been the analysis of encoding specificity. The encoding specificity principle...

The aim of this study was to investigate if making the skill acquisition phase more difficult or easier would enhance performance in soccer juggling, and if this practice has a positive inter-task transfer effect to ball reception performance. Twenty-two adolescent soccer players were tested in jug...
