A cross-level units-of-analysis approach to individual differences in skill acquisition.

Abstract: A recent multiple-stage model posits that the individual-difference factors influencing performance vary depending on skill acquisition stage (P. L. Ackerman, 1989, 1990). In the current study, the authors examine the effect of ability in early skill acquisition and extend earlier research by examining the roles of self-efficacy and task familiarity. Furthermore, learning-curve modeling with multilevel models is used to alleviate prior analytical problems. Subjects (N = 115) performed an air traffic control si… Show more

“…Since individual and business unit experience not only supports improvements in practice but may also support improvements in exploration tactics (Buck and Cheng 1993;Eyring et al 1993), the empirical observations of such dynamics may not be rare in similar settings. Although this trend must eventually taper off (He and Wong 2004;McGrath 2001)., such early stage acceleration and continued gains provides an intriguing contrast to traditional monotonic views of leaming.…”

“…All of the newly identified curves had a similar basic shape that decreased to an asymptote. The additional curves came from psychology, 72,74,76,77 manufacturing 78,79 and aviation. 80 The most widely cited shape of learning curve across all fields was the power law (of practice).…”

“…76 The simulation had three task components: accepting aircraft into the airspace, moving aircraft in a three-level hold pattern, and landing aircraft on appropriate runways. The number of correct landings per trial was the outcome of interest and individual learning curves were estimated by two-stage estimation using a negative Techniques that can be applied to both simple and complex data types None identified…”

“…The changing nature of these relationships has lead to analysis problems in the past. Eyring, Johnson, and Francis (1993) have applied HLM to the study of skill acquisition and found that cross-level analyses improved upon past methods of analysis when modeling skill acquisition.…”
