SKILL

Skill is an ability and capacity acquired through deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to smoothly adaptively carry out complex activities or job function involving ideas (cognitive skill), things (technical skill), and/or people (interpersonal skill).
Skill is a product of experience and practice, it is not just what you can do but how you do what you can do. Training and repeated practice are enhancers of skill; so skill is acquired and is not transferable. Knowledge which is vital connect to skill can be transferred through teaching and learning but skill comes through conscious and repeated practice.
There is a great relationship between time and skill; it takes time to develop skill or skill is acquired over time. There is no quick fix to acquiring skill; one must be ready to go through a process to have it but the time varies from one person to another depending on interest and natural bent.
TYPES OF SKILLS

Cognition is more than just learning information, it's the ability to think about new information, process and speak about it and apply it to other, previously acquired information. As children mature, they develop the ability to think on higher levels, processing information more skillfully and making connections to other information more easily; so cognitive skill develops as a child mature and this explains why our sense of judgment improves as we grow or mature.
