Transfer of training in mirror tracing.

The measurement of transfer of training.

“…References are also given to a number of earlier studies which seem representative of the different approaches to the measurement of transfer, or which have contributed a distinctive method of measuring transfer. There are a number of articles which contain extensive reviews of the literature on transfer of training (26,28,53,87,93,94,95,101,105,115,122,124). In addition, several references con-tain discussions of the methods which have been used to measure transfer (24,68,94,95,105,124,133).…”

“…A number of investigators have made use of Formulas [3] and [4] to yield a measure of transfer as the percent that improvement due to transfer is of the percent of improvement accomplished in a given number of direct learning trials. The numerator of these expressions is taken to be the difference between the initial test of the practice series and the initial test of the transfer series (25,53,68,121). The denominator is a measure of improvement of performance in a given number of trials of direct practice.…”
