RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The psychology of skill acquisition JF British Journal of Sports Medicine JO Br J Sports Med FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine SP 395 OP 398 DO 10.1136/bjsm.7.3-4.395 VO 7 IS 3-4 A1 R. H. Sharp YR 1973 UL http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/7/3-4/395.abstract AB The title of this paper includes such a large body of knowledge that an attempt to describe every detail in a single paper would be both a pretentious and fruitless exercise. Instead, I shall describe briefly how the psychology of skill acquisition is viewed in terms of a general conceptual framework and secondly, how such a model can be of use in considering some aspects of the learning process.
