TLDR
A simple two-component model of transfer is proposed that allows for the differential practice of general and specific components when learning a skill.Abstract:
Computer-naive subjects were taught to use either one or two line editors and then a screen editor. Positive transfer was observed both between the line editors and from the line editors to the screen editor. Transfer expressed itself in terms of reductions in total time, keystrokes, residual errors, and seconds per keystroke. A simple two-component model of transfer is proposed that allows for the differential practice of general and specific components when learning a skill.read more

Multi-task connectivity reveals flexible hubs for adaptive task control
Michael W. Cole,Jeremy R. Reynolds,Jonathan D. Power,Grega Repovs,Alan Anticevic,Alan Anticevic,Todd S. Braver +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that the FPN's brain-wide functional connectivity pattern shifted more than those of other networks across a variety of task states and that these connectivity patterns could be used to identify the current task.

Skill Acquisition: Compilation of Weak-Method Problem Solutions.
TL;DR: Cognitive skills are encoded by a set of productions, which are organized according to a hierarchical goal structure, which implies that all variety of skill acquisition, including that typically regarded as inductive, conforms to this characterization.

Research Report: The Evolving Relationship Between General and Specific Computer Self-Efficacy--An Empirical Assessment
TL;DR: It is described how two broad types of computer self-efficacy beliefs are constructed across different computing tasks by suggesting that initial general CSE beliefs will strongly predict subsequentspecific CSE Beliefs, and the emergent patterns of the hypothesized relationships are examined.

Paradox of the active user
John M. Carroll,Mary Beth Rosson +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses two empirical phenomena of computer use: (1) people have considerable trouble learning to use computers, and (2) their skill tends to asymptote at relative mediocrity.

Book
Human Problem Solving
TL;DR: The aim of the book is to advance the understanding of how humans think by putting forth a theory of human problem solving, along with a body of empirical evidence that permits assessment of the theory.
Book
Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications
TL;DR: Anderson as mentioned in this paper constructs a coherent picture of human cognition, relating neural functions to mental processes, perception to abstraction, representation to meaning, knowledge to skill, language to thought, and adult cognition to child development.

The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction
TL;DR: The GOMS Model of Manuscript Editing as mentioned in this paper has been used in many applications, e.g., for text selection and text editing in computer science, and for circuit design.

Acquisition of cognitive skill
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for skill acquisition is proposed that includes two major stages in the development of a cognitive skill: a declarative stage in which facts about the skill domain are interpreted and a procedural stage where the domain knowledge is directly embodied in procedures for performing the skill.

Schema induction and analogical transfer
Mary L. Gick,Keith J. Holyoak +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that if two prior analogs were given, subjects often derived a problem schema as an incidental product of describing the similarities of the analogs, and the quality of the induced schema was highly predictive of subsequent transfer performance.
