Transfer of learning

• Using the knowledge or skills used in one situation in to a new situation

Types

1. Positive transfer- learning of one task facilitates the acquisition of a subsequent task                                                                 

   E g. Playing badminton helps in the learning of tennis.

   Negative transfer  - when the learning of one task makes the learning of another task harder.      

   E g. Right hand side drive hinders left hand side

   Zero transfer -  Previous learning has no effect on further learning 

   Vertical transfer - learning at one behavioral level facilitates learning at a higher behavioral level                                                     

   E g. A teacher promoted as principal 

   Horizontal Transfer. - Here a previous learning will aid in doing things which are of the same level.                                                            

   Eg. Teacher of a school transferred to other school (Position in not changed)

   E g. knowledge of carpentry has no effect on the learning of cycling.
