Some problems and tasks are so nearly alike that transfer of learning occurs easily and naturally.

The difficulty with the theory of near and far transfer is that it does not provide a foundation or a plan for helping a person to become better at far transfer when dealing with novel and complex problems.

Low road transfer happens when stimulus conditions in the transfer context are sufficiently similar to those in a prior context of learning to trigger well-developed semi-automatic responses.

High road transfer, depends on mindful abstraction from the context of learning or application and a deliberate search for connections
