I’ve chosen “A Five-Stage Model of the Mental Activities Involved in Directed Skill Acquisition” by Stuart E. Dreyfuss and Hubert L. Dreyfuss. It was written in 1980 for the United States Air Force. Th paper proposes five stages through which a student passes when learning a new skill, and that concrete experience becomes more important that abstract principles as the student progresses.
