Transfer of Learning

Where the learning and performance of one skill effects the learning and performance of another
Positive Transfer
1. Learning in one skill helps learning in another
2. when shape/form of the skill is similar
3. E.G chest pass in basketball and netball
4. Can be helpful when learning a new skill
Negative Transfer
1. when learning in one skill hinders learning in another
2. E.G tennis played with firm grip, squash played with floppy wrist
3. What you don't want when learning new skills
Zero Transfer
1. When learning in one skill neither helps nor hinders another skill
2. E.G lacrosse compared to swimming
Bi-lateral Transfer
1. Where learning in one skill on one side of the body helps learning the same skill on the other side of the body
2. Useful in most sports E.G lacrosse or rugby
Training should be realistic to encourage transfer
