The current experiment investigated generalizability of motor learning in proximal versus distal effectors in upper extremities. Twenty-eight participants were divided into three groups: training proximal effectors, training distal effectors, and no training control group (CG). Performance was tested pre- and post-training for specific learning and three learning transfer conditions: (1) bilate...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of focus of attention on learning dart throwing in mentally retarded children.in this quasi-experimental study, 22 mentally retarded boys (age 10-12 years old) were randomly selected according to iq (50-70) and were assigned to two homogenous attention (internal, external) groups after the pretest and a training session according to the obtain...

Training transfer is refers to the trainees ability to accept what has been taught in the course of training and transfer them to actual working situation and be able to retain it for a certain period of time. The evaluation is to identify the relationship between trainee characteristics, training design and work environment towards transfer of training among employee. The findings of the study...

Although organizations invest billions of dollars in training every year, many trained competencies reportedly fail to transfer to the workplace. Researchers have long examined the ‘transfer problem’, uncovering a wealth of information regarding the transfer of training. Inconsistencies remain, however, and organizations may find it difficult to pinpoint exactly which factors are most critical....

This paper addresses issues associated with transfer of training; in particular, the importance of mimicking the contexts of application during training: When will a skill transfer from one situation of application to another, and what aspects of training affect a learner's ability to transfer the learning to new situations? Although there exist many examples of failure to show good transfer of...

Corporate training services have grown into a key approach for improving performance and a substantial industry in recent years due to increased job requirements, workforce flexibility and lifelong learning. Transfer-oftraining is a key output of these services, defined as the application and generalization of new competences at work acquired in training. Corporate trainings are exemplars of hi...

We investigated the controversy regarding double training in motion discrimination learning. We collected data from 43 participants in a motion direction discrimination learning task with either double training (i.e., training plus exposure) or single training (i.e., no exposure). By pooling these data with those in the literature, we had data in double training from 28 participants and in sing...

the aim of the present study was to examine the hypothesis of the specificity of practice regarding training place (to determine whether learning a sport skill was specific to the training place). participants were 30 adolescent female students (mean age 11.50±1.50 years) who performed 10 sessions of learning perceptive-motor skill of kata in karate. after they finished kata sessions, retention...

CONTEXT Dyad practice may be as effective as individual practice during clinical skills training, improve students' confidence, and reduce costs of training. However, there is little evidence that dyad training is non-inferior to single-student practice in terms of skills transfer. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of simulation-based ultrasound training in pair...
