Primes

• Transfer of Learning
  • Transfer of learning is the claim that knowledge, skill, or strategy acquired in one task or context (the source-domain mastery) is applied — successfully or unsuccessfully — to a different task or context (the target-context adaptation), and the claim is that such transfer is neither automatic nor uniform: it depends on the structural-similarity recognition between training and target, on how the learner encoded the original material through the abstract-mapping operation, and on whether the learner can recognize the shared structure at the moment of use.
