Abstract

This chapter introduces basic knowledge and current concepts about the acquisition and performance of motor skills, as relevant for catheter-based interventions. This should facilitate the design of training curricula that are rooted in experimental evidence and modern theory about psychomotor control and learning, and thus increase the efficiency of surgical education.
