L13B: Measures of Transfer Flashcards
What is the point of
Measuring Transfer?
Was there positive or negative transfer from task A>B
- Transfer assessment typically involves Task “A”
to Task “B” designs (with control groups) - Did previous practice at Task A (or X,Y,Z…)
transfer to performance at Task B?
Example
Transfer of learning measures: Typically involve Task
“A” to Task “B” design (with control groups)
What is Positive Transfer?
What is Negative Transfer?
Example
Many sports technologies make claims about positive
transfer, especially those to “train the brain”

What is zero-sum training?
The double whammy of lack of transfer or negative transfer, when compared to other groups/methods
- Not as effective as other methods (or harmful)
- Wastes time, which could be spent on better methods
Zero-sum training: “every minute in ineffective method, equal to minute that could have been spent in more effective method.” (see webstudy narrative)
What are time savings?
