What's meant by 'transfer of learning'?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

When parents take on the responsibility for teaching their children to drive

When associations are made with previously learned skills and knowledge

When trainees learn from friends and colleagues

When pupils learn from their mistakes

Show the answer

When associations are made with previously learned skills and knowledgeThis was the right answer

A transfer of knowledge is when links are made between previous experience and the new skills to be learned. For example, a pedestrian who can judge appropriate gaps in the traffic to cross the road can link this skill to turning right into side roads when they learn to drive. A good instructor will identify these links.
