	learning curve definition
		Learning curve shows the rate of improvement in performing a task as a function of time, or the rate of change in average cost (in hours or dollars) as a function of cumulative output.
		Used in resource requirements planning, learning curves are also employed in setting incentive rate schemes based on the statistical findings that as the cumulative output is doubled, the average unit cost declines by a constant percentage.
		For example, an 80 percent learning curve means the per unit average cumulative cost (in hours or dollars) falls to 80 percent of the previous per unit average cumulative cost as the cumulative output doubles.

	Experience curve effects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The curve is plotted with cumulative units produced on the horizontal axis and unit cost on the vertical axis.
		A curve that depicts a 15% cost reduction for every doubling of output is called an “85% experience curve”, indicating that unit costs drop to 85% of their original level.
		Maintaining that because of the learning curve effect, economies of scale pervade modern economies, Davies infers that since the resulting monopolies distort the market away from equilibrium and optimality, the modern economy is not in equilibrium.

	18. The Learning Curve
		Since learning curve theory hypothesizes a constant percent of learning for a constant percentage change in number of units (not lots) produced, it is necessary to convert a lot cost to a unit cost.
		Learning curve theory, based on numerous empirical studies, states that as the number of units produced in a repetitive process doubles, the cost to produce the doubled quantity declines by some constant percentage.
		Once an analyst has decided the learning curve is an appropriate tool to model the costs of a particular estimating scenario, the next major consideration in using the learning curve is to choose the proper parameters to model the particular estimate.

	The Learning Curve or Experience Curve Summary ...
		The theory of the learning curve or experience curve is based on the simple idea that the time required to perform a task decreases as a worker gains experience.
		Learning curves are useful for preparing cost estimates, bidding on special orders, setting labor standards, scheduling labor requirements, evaluating labor performance, and setting incentive wage rates.
		On the other hand, a 50% learning curve would indicate that no additional time or cost would be required for additional units beyond the first unit, since the cumulative average time, (in Wright's model) or the incremental unit time (in Crawford's model) would decrease by 50% each time output doubled.

	Cost Models - Learning Curve Calculator
		The concept of the learning curve was introduced to the aircraft industry in 1936 when T. Wright published an article in the February 1936 Journal of the Aeronautical Science.
		For the Wright learning curve, the underlying hypothesis is that the direct labor man-hours necessary to complete a unit of production will decrease by a constant percentage each time the production quantity is doubled.
		The calculator uses the learning curve to estimate the unit, average, and total effort required to produce a given number of units.

		Another reason some pitchers don’t master a curveball early in their careers is that they become enamored with the slider, either because they’ve been encouraged by a coach or due to the ease of learning a slider, which allows for a short cut to a breaking pitch.
		If a pitcher is seriously motivated to learn to throw a curve, he should be able to achieve that goal.
		Learning the direction of spin in throwing any breaking pitch is paramount to mastering its function and, ultimately, its effectiveness.

	Learning Curve
		It is a cliché today to refer to a “steep learning curve” to indicate that something is difficult to learn.
		In practice, a curve of the amount learned against the number of trials (in experiments) or over time (in reality) is just the opposite: if something is difficult, the line rises slowly or shallowly.
		She also points out that learning skills is largely a matter of them “soaking in”, so that performance becomes less self-conscious as learning progresses, and that the transition from one phase to another is marked by a release of energy, in the form of the freedom to concentrate on other things.

		In my last blog post I wrote about the optimism learning professionals are currently expressing about the short- to medium-term growth of the industry, despite the current economic climate, and the traditional impact that recessionary times have on learning and development in organizations.
		I would suggest that the primary implication for learning professionals is that this could be the basis for a common (if not open) platform to enable learning materials to be delivered via multiple channels.
		Learning objects are a resource – they contain the total means available to deliver training and learning objects are reusable – a single learning object may be used in multiple contexts for multiple purposes.
