商品簡介
The concept of "transfer" is not as simple as it sounds. Here it describes a situation in which information learned at one point in time influences performance on information encountered at a later point in time. Transfer can be horizontal or vertical, specific or nonspecific, near or far, literal or figural. In this collection of 12 essays, contributors describe their research in theoretical and practical aspects of transfer with such subjects as efficiency and innovation, fuzzy-trace theory, resources and framing, coordination, knowledge representation and coordination, dynamic transfer from a physics education perspective, theory and its relationship to level and function, assessment of whether learning transfers beyond the classroom, transfer of mathematics problem-solving procedures, making transfer happen across physical and temporal as well as conceptual space, and the case of television.
