23.1 Skilled Performance

As practice increases, so does performance in a proportional relationship

• imagined learning curve

• linear learning curve

• Negatively Accelerating Learning Curve

• Positively Accelerating Learning Curve

A learning situation characterized by rapid learning in the beginning with successively smaller increments of learning in later trials.

• sigmoid learning curve

• linear learning curve

• Negatively Accelerating Learning Curve

• Positively Accelerating Learning Curve

A learning situation characterized by slow improvements in performance in the early stages followed by significant improvement in later trials.

• sigmoid learning curve

• linear learning curve

• Negatively Accelerating Learning Curve

• Positively Accelerating Learning Curve

This curve will typically follow three key stages - an exponential growth phase, a transitional phase and a plateau phase
