Chapter 10 Transfer of learning (2)forward and backward transfer (3)general transfer and specific transfer: General transfer is content independent, which affects a wide range of new knowledge and skills CLearning in one situation affects learning and performance in a somewhat dissimilar situation) e.g. taking notes. Specific transfer is content dependent, which affects only particular knowledge and skills within a circumscribed subject matter (when transfer occurs because the original task and the transfer task overlap in content, we have specific transfer)

Chapter 10 Transfer of learning 3)general transfer and specific transfers Specific transfer occurs far more frequently than general transfer(Gray, Orasanu, 1987). In fact, the question of whether general transfer occurs at all has been the subject of considerable debate

Chapter 10 Transfer of learning (4)near transfer and far transfer Far transfer tasks involve skills and knowledge being applied in situations that change. One of the benefits of far transfer is that once the skills and knowledge are acquired, the learner is able to make judgments and adapt to different situations
