Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,182 times
Under the various forms of transfer of learning, when the knowledge, skills, or mental habits acquired in one situation neither help nor create any hindrance in learning in another situation, what is this type of transfer called and what is its most appropriate psychological basis?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Zero Transfer of Learning
Zero transfer of learning occurs when knowledge, skills, or experiences learned in one domain do not affect (neither positively nor negatively) the learning of another situation.
- Zero Transfer: Occurs when tasks are completely independent and unrelated.
- Example: Learning music has no direct impact on the ability to solve mathematical problems.
