摘要
A robust finding in the literature on skill maintenance is that extended skill-retention intervals (SRIs) lead to decreased task performance. We investigated three potential moderators of the SRI/task performance decrement relationship: (a) degree of initial skill learning, (b) performer aptitude, and (c) degree of task difficulty. Results in eight samples of enlisted U.S. Air Force personnel (N = 1,544) generally supported a negative SRI/task performance relationship, hut support for moderator effects was mixed. Implications for skill maintenance in actual work settings are discussed.
