This edited book is a 'must have volume' for those interested in skill decay and interventions to reduce it. Skill decay results in performance decrements on delay retention and transfer tasks. The focus of the book on individual and team skill decay in complex domains is unique and valuable . The excellent chapters in the book offer both breadth and depth on the subject of skill decay and ways to reduce it. --Harold F ONeil, Professor of Educational Psychology and Technology, Rossier School of Education/CRESST, University of Southern California
