Despite these difficulties, efforts to analyze transfer experimentally in terms of the properties of stimulus and response events have been productive in identifying conditions that can be varied to alter the direction and the degree of transfer of training.
At the very root of modern theories of personality development is the assumption that what a person learns during his childhood will show a pervasive degree of transfer to his adult behaviour.
If one seeks to control the degree of transfer, as one does in educational settings, it seems useful to analyze transfer behaviour in terms of a number of component processes e.g., stimulus and response similarity, stimulus predifferentiation and response learning, and the symbolic abilities of the learner.
The degree of transfer between lists that contain similar response terms depends both on how similar they are and on their level of difficulty; increasing the similarity between response terms is most likely to increase positive transfer when the response terms are relatively difficult to learn.
Absorption of liquid by a textile substrate indicates the degree of transfer of liquid on its surface.
Effects of the two programs on increase in knowledge and use of criteria and degree of transfer were determined.
In the case of metal atoms, the level of interaction is proportional to the degree of transfer of electron density towards the incoming atom.
Following the lessons, a written student assessment was used for judging retention of understanding of variation developed through the lessons and the degree of transfer of understanding to a different scenario (research question 3).
Because the students had not seen a comparison like this before, it was felt that the performance indicated an encouraging degree of transfer of understanding of variation and the ability to think critically in a similar but non-identical context.
There was a variability in the degree of transfer, and amyloid did not develop in any mice from group H5 and H7 containing six and five mice, respectively, while amyloid developed in five out of five mice in group H2 (Table 3).
