Transfer of Learning
Psychology ⇒ Learning and Memory
Transfer of Learning starts at 11 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Transfer of Learning.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11

Describe the difference between specific transfer and general transfer.
Describe the main factors that influence the transfer of learning.

Fill in the blank: According to the theory of generalization, transfer occurs when there is a ________ between the original and new learning situations.
Fill in the blank: The ________ of transfer refers to how much learning in one situation affects learning in another.
Fill in the blank: The ________ of transfer refers to the direction in which transfer occurs, such as forward or backward.
Fill in the blank: The ________ theory of transfer suggests that transfer occurs when a response learned to one stimulus is made to another similar stimulus.
True or False: According to the theory of formal discipline, studying subjects like Latin or mathematics improves general mental abilities and thus helps in other areas.
True or False: Negative transfer occurs when previous learning interferes with new learning.
True or False: The more similar two tasks are, the greater the likelihood of transfer.
True or False: Transfer of learning can be both positive and negative.
