Document Summary
Concept: transfer of learning from one performance situation to another is an integral part of skill learning and performance. Performing a skill in a new context. This influence can result in the following: Transfer principle has practical and theoretical significance for: Both based on the relationship between the previous and new experience or context: similarity of skill and context components, thorndike"s identical elements theory, similarity of processing requirements, transfer - appropriate processing view. Although much remains unknown about the cause of transfer of learning, evidence points to the value of both hypotheses. Considered rare and temporary in motor skill learning. Occurs when new skill or context involves. Similar environmental context features but requires a different movement response. Negative effects can be overcome with practice. Important for the practitioner to be aware that it could cause discouragement early in practice. Two main reasons: motor control system required to perform in non- preferred manner for the environmental context, cognitive confusion.
