Abstract: This paper is a review of some of the work of the Institute of Psychology, Academia Sinica, pertaining to industrial skill training. It shows that motive in learning, the characteristics of the skill of perception, the role of image and thinking in the learning process, the coordination of the two signal systems in motor and rhythmic activities, and precision and punctuality in reinforcement are important problems that have to be solved for an effective training program.After critisizing some defects in previous work in these fields, the author points out that laboratory and theoretical studies need to be strengthened, and special attention needs to be paid to the new psychological problems arising from automation and related sciences.
