Captions available
The idea
Transfer is using knowledge or skill beyond the setting where it was learned, carrying it from a source situation to a new target.
In practice
Fractions learned in math help a student double a recipe at home.
Where people slip
Learning in varied contexts creates more links in long-term memory, making later transfer more likely.
