Summary:

Can such techniques as sleep learning and hypnosis improve performance? Do we sometimes confuse familiarity with mastery? Can we learn without making mistakes? This book addresses these and other key issues in learning and performance and presents leading-edge theories and findings from a wide range of research settings, from pilots learning to fly to children learning about physics by throwing a beanbag. Common folklore is explored and promising research directions are identified. Index.
