Some General and Specific Factors in Transfer of Training

Abstract

Two groups were used, one of which was trained in a right hand clockwise, and the other in a right hand counter-clockwise direction of motor skill. The transfer to the untrained hand in both groups was greatest in the direction opposite to training, although every case improved in both directions. The improvement due to the specific training was felt to account for the higher scores in the opposite direction, the remainder being due to general transfer
