“…Typically, measures of retention were taken immediately after completion of the training task. Mandler and Heinemann (1956), for example, used the number of correct trials immediately after training to examine the effects of overlearning on retention. The research indicates that learning principles have an effect on learning and immediate retention of training material.…”

Transfer of training is of paramount concern for training researchers and practitioners. Despite research efforts, there is a growing concern over the "transfer problem." The purpose of this paper is to provide a critique of the existing transfer research and to suggest directions for future research investigations. The conditions of transfer include both the generalization of learned material to the job and the maintenance of trained skills over a period of time on the job. The existing research examining the effects of training design, trainee, and work-environment factors on conditions of transfer is reviewed and critiqued. Research gaps identified from the review include the need to (1) test various operationalizations of training design and work-environment factors that have been posited as having an impact on transfer and (2) develop a framework for conducting research on the effects of trainee characteristics on transfer. Needed advancements in the conceptualization and operationalization of the criterion of transfer are also discussed.

“…In general, most negative transfer occurs after small amounts of practice on the training tasks (Gagne & Foster, 1949;Mandler & Heinemann, 1956;Schmidt, 1971;Siipola & Israel, 1933).…”

“…Mixed-list transfer comparisons, however, have almost without exception included more than one transfer condition or paradigm in addition to the C-D control paradigm (e.g., Kausier & Kanoti, 1963;Mandler & Heinemann, 1956;Merikle & Battig, 1963;Twedt & Underwood, 1959), so that the second transfer list has contained fewer new C-D control pairs than pairs containing one or more first-list items. That such conditions may produce spurious negative transfer is suggested by Battig & Berry's (in press) recent demonstration of a marked facilitation on new C-D pairs (relative to pairs consisting of individual items previously used in a verbal-discrimination or multiple-choice recognition task) when there were fewer new than pretrained pairs in the FA list.…”
