In this new edition we showcase 9 new topics which are of current interest in the skill acquisition field (see contents below). All of the chapters are new, rather than revised, such that the content is both novel and current. We have added 2 new chapters at the end of the book which shed light on the successes and challenges of applying skill acquisition research in the field.
