Immediate transfer of learning from speech perception to speech production
… little evidence, however, that such phonotactic learning can transfer between perception and production (Warker et al., 2009). In three experiments, we provide further evidence that phonotactic constraints experienced in perception can immediately influence speech production, and probe the …

Using repeated testing and variable encoding to promote transfer of learning
Within the literature on transfer of learning, relatively few studies have investigated how the conditions of initial learning can be arranged to increase the likelihood of successful transfer. The present research investigated whether test-enhanced learning can be used to promote transfer. More …

Transfer of Learning by Word Processing Students: An Analysis of Selected Factors
The purpose of this study was to determine if word processing can be taught conceptually so that students can decontextualize concepts from a specific program setting and thus achieve a greater level of both learning and far transfer. The conceptual abstracting instructional method, which used an …

The Effects of Group -Monitoring on Transfer of Learning in Small Group Discussions
… monitoring activities promote the acquisition of discussion skills and reasoning strategies. Results from six classrooms indicate that, when children review each discussion in terms of criteria for a good discussion, in subsequent discussions they are more likely to look at issues from multiple …

Mechanisms of Transfer: Modeling Motivational and Self-Regulatory Processes that Promote Transfer of Learning
<p>A critical goal of many school and training interventions is to provide learners with the strategies and foundational knowledge that will allow them to tackle novel problems encountered under circumstances different than the learning situations. This is also quite often referred to as the …

Transfer of learning from simulation to clinical practice in pre-registration healthcare student education.
… for teaching clinical skills to healthcare professionals and has been incorporated into pre-registration curricula internationally. Simulation can often be used to replace clinical practice hours and it is projected that the use of simulation will rise as placement opportunities decline. …

Physicians' Perceptions of Transfer of Learning From Continuing Medical Education (Cme) Programs Into Practice: A Case Study
"To further realize the impact of the Holton model in the physician context, physicians may need to be viewed as ""sole proprietors"" of their practice with (a) closer proximity to their practice; (b) more direct authority over their transfer of learning capabilities; and (c) greater authority over …

Factors Influencing Transfer of Learning in Micro and Small Enterprises in the Garment -Making Industry in Kenya
… Results indicated that there was a high level of learning and in turn, full transfer of learning. The main trainee characteristics found to influence transfer of learning were motivation, self-efficacy, and ability. Other motivational factors in this context were the subsidized cost of training …

Influence of Incentive on Strategies of Human choice Behavior in a Four Alternative Transfer of Learning Probability Task
… Ss were presented with a four choice probability learning-task. Two groups of 24 Ss each were placed under different incentives - Equitable Wage (EW) and Gambling Wage (GW). It was anticipated that a transfer of learning effect would be present. Also, it was anticipated that the test in which the …

Low-Fee Private Schools in West Africa: Case Studies from Burkina Faso and Ghana
<p>Every year billions of dollars are spent on development aid and training around the world. However, only 10% of this training results in the transfer of knowledge, skills, or behaviors learned in the training to the work place. Ideally, learning transfer produces effective and continued …

Instructional Development: A Case Study of Program Planning for Active Learning at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
A majority of respondents indicated that they did not have any doubts about using active learning. A significant number reported anecdotally that they were committed to active learning prior to participating in the program. This bought into question whether the program attracted a majority of …

The changing role of evaluation in urban regeneration: a review of the extent to which learning takes places between successive regeneration initiatives in England
The transfer, or exchange, of knowledge about "what works" in urban regeneration is of increasing importance because of the rise in complexity of the landscape of regeneration; the competition for resources; the New Labour government's drive to focus on evidence- based practice; the increasing …

The Transfer of Wilderness Trips to the Everyday Lives of Young People: A Case Study
… the outcomes, benefits, and perceptions of wilderness trip experiences. However, the transfer of learning from a wilderness trip to the everyday lives of youth trip participants, that has deliberately explored post-trip experience, is minimal. Using a qualitative multi-case study …

The effects of opposed and unopposed practice environments on skill acquisition and transfer, with specific reference to non-dominant foot kicking: Examining changes in kicking kinematics, and outcome
… It has been accepted that the expression of football kicking behaviour is specific to the performance context, and without a defender acting as a task constraint in practice, some representative movement regulation features will not emerge. It has been suggested that practicing under …

Transfer Success on the Linda Problem: A Re-Examination Using Dual Process Theory, Learning Material Characteristics, and Individual Differences
… where participants judge the probability of various options and frequently make biased judgements known as conjunction errors. Here, I conceptually replicated and extended the finding by Agnoli and Krantz (1989) that when participants are explicitly trained with Venn diagrams to inhibit …

A Study in Texture Segmentation: Investigating the Role of Template Retuning in Perceptual Learning
… perceptual tasks that may be the product of practice or the observer's familiarity with the task. These differences suggest the possibility of perceptual learning (PL), which could be linked to first-order information. The purpose of the present study was to establish learning and test for …

Transfer of emergent leadership from collaborative discussions to collaborative problem solving
Transfer of learning has been an important goal of teaching. Most research studies have focused on the transfer of content knowledge; however, do children transfer the social skills they have learned from one group activity to another? By using the approach of Collaborative Reasoning (CR) …

Learning the single-digit multiplication facts: The role of the commutative principle
The role of the commutative principle of multiplication in learning the single-digit multiplication facts was explored in this study. Two theoretical positions are described that depict the manner in which these arithmetic facts are taught and learned. The associationist position states that the …
