At various times over the past 25 years, cognitive psychologists have found it convenient to postulate two kinds of knowledge procedural and declarative.1 For the most part, procedural knowledge means rule knowledge and has to do with skill acquisition and performance. Declarative knowledge is composed of concepts and facts. A schema does not exactly fit into either of these categories but instead transcends both of them. 

Studies involving pattern recognition, like studies of skill acquisition, also depend heavily on computer models, but the models are of a different type. The models of skill acquisition are generally composed of a set of rules that operate one by one as needed. They are often referred to as production systems or production models. 

Cognitive scientists and psychologists also work at the fourth level, where the emphasis is on characteristics and concepts associated with a single schema knowledge component. Many studies of concept recognition and skill acquisition fit here. 

Another complicating issue lies in how the effectiveness of the laboratory work is assessed. Hofstein Lunetta (1982) correctly pointed out that most of the research they reviewed focused on investigating how effective the laboratory was in the acquisition and broadening of specific concepts in the cognitive domain. Perhaps new research is needed to investigate how the affective domain of motivation, attitudes, and emotions and the psychomotor domain of skills acquisition play out in the laboratory. 

Task groups incorporate opportunities for skill acquisition relevant to career advrmcement. 

Anderson (1982) has also proposed a three-stage model of skill acquisition, distinguishing among cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages. The cognitive stage corresponds to early practice in which a learner exerts effort to comprehend the natme of the task and how it should be performed.

In this section, we review examples of the application of SPs in laboiatoiy studies evaluating effort expenditure in the context of mental workload assessment. Studies are also presented on the effects of different work-related factors, suchastaskdifficulty and time pressure, on SPs. Two further effort-related studies will also be presented that examine eariy human error detection and that evaluate an operator s level of training and skill acquisition.

The subject matter of academic knowledge domains consists of abstract knowledge rather than of cognitive skills. Theory-based design of instmction in such domains requires a theory of the acquisition of abstract knowledge that is at the same level of precision as today s theories of skill acquisition. To develop such a theory is to answer the five research questions discussed in this section.
