How can teachers help students apply familiar information to an unfamiliar context?
This research provides a thorough examination of cognitive training and its potential for achieving both near and far transfer effects – the transfer and applicaiton of knowledge.
Published by Sala et al., (2019), this research presents a detailed analysis of cognitive training and its efficacy in facilitating near and far transfer.
It’s not directly linked to classroom teaching; the research explores the concept of near transfer, referring to the transfer of cognitive skills within the same domain or task, as well as far transfer, which pertains to the transfer of cognitive skills to different domains or tasks.
Something important to all teachers.
Throughout the review, the factors influencing near and far transfer are thoroughly examined, including the specificity of training tasks, the cognitive demands involved, and individual differences.
