What does the term Transfer of Learning mean?

# data[].attributes.body
Transfer of Learning occurs, "when learning in one context or with one set of materials impacts on performance in another context or with another related material." It is the application of skills, rules, and concepts learned in one situation to a different situation.

Why is Transfer of Learning important? What impact does it have?

# data[].attributes.body
Transfer of Learning is key concept because of its importance in the education system because most formal education aspires to transfer.

What are differences between Near and Far Transfer?

# data[].attributes.subject
What are differences between Near and Far Transfer?

# data[].attributes.body
Near Transfer occurs between closely similar contexts.

Far Transfer occurs between contexts that share little similarities.

What are the differences between High vs. Low Road Transfer?

# data[].attributes.subject
What are the differences between High vs. Low Road Transfer?

# data[].attributes.body
High Road Transfer involves deliberate abstraction and search for connections across transfer tasks.

Low Road Transfer involves stimulus conditions that trigger well practiced, automated responses acquired in prior learning context.

What are the differences between Positive vs. Negative Transfer?

# data[].attributes.subject
What are the differences between Positive vs. Negative Transfer?

# data[].attributes.body
In Positive Transfer, previous learning complements the new context.

In Negative Transfer, previous learning interferes with new learning.

What are the differences between Nonspecific vs. Specific Transfer? 

# data[].attributes.subject
What are the differences between Nonspecific vs. Specific Transfer? 

# data[].attributes.body
Specific Transfer occurs between contexts which are similar in the stimulus properties.

Nonspecific Transfer occurs in situations where there is no obvious similarity between the two learning events.

# data[].attributes.body
Transfer is determined by the common elements shared by two learning contexts.

# data[].attributes.body
Transfer depends on understanding the abstract general principle.
