Exam 13: Transfer of Learning

Performance of a new experience that is hindered by experience with a previous skill is an example of ________ transfer.

Degree of positive transfer is related to the:

Bilateral transfer can be related to the concept of the generalized motor program (GMP) because muscle selection in performing a skill is:

_______ transfer can be expected if two tasks involve many similar stimulus components.

An important characteristic of ________ transfer is that the effect is typically temporary.

The use of Gentile's taxonomy of motor skills in a physical rehabilitation situation provides a good example of how the transfer of learning principle can be implemented in a skill-training situation.

Which of the following provides support for the motor control explanation for bilateral transfer?

The dynamic pattern theory of motor control explains bilateral transfer by stating that the learning of a skill involves the learning of ________ dynamics without reference to the limbs involved.

The ________ theory states that the primary reason for positive transfer between two motor skills is the similarity of the cognitive processes required by the skills.

According to the generalized motor program theory of motor control, bilateral transfer can be expected because learning a skill results in the creation of an abstract memory representation for an action in which ________ are a parameter of the program.

We can historically trace the view that transfer occurs because of the similar characteristics of two skills to Thorndike's ________ theory.
