Recent developments in analytical training

In recent years, relatively little has appeared in print about Skills Analysis Training (SAT). Although there have been passing references in training periodicals and references to some of the principles incorporated in analytical training there has been almost no discussion of the topic. In the current decade three books have been published on analytical skills training, but these are based on experience gained in the 1960's. Yet, as recently as 1973 a survey of the use of instructional techniques in industrial training carried out by Middlesex Polytechnic showed that SAT was more widely used in skills training than any other method.
