Abstract
The research reviewed herein suggests that an increase in the efficiency of transfer occurs when (a) the retardate is relatively young; (b) a high similarity exists between tasks, such that a substantial amount of the training task can be transferred as a unit; and (c) meaningful pretraining of a general and varied nature is provided. The general nature of the verbal instructions provided the retardate also seems to influence transfer performance.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
