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.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
