3. Transfer of learning Types of transfer
Positive
Negative
Neutral
What can you do to maximize transfer?

4. Stages of learning
Verbal-cognitive
Motor
Autonomous

5. Measuring motor behavior
Error scores
Constant error (CE)
Score minus target
Absolute error (AE)
Absolute value of CE
Variable error (VE)
Standard deviation of CE

6. Interpretation of error scores
Individual and mean error scores
CE – bias
On the average, scores were this far in this direction from the target
AE – accuracy
On the average, scores were this far from the target
VE – variability
On the average, scores were this far from the mean

7. Sample of error scores
Linear positioning experiment

8. Error scores in 2 dimensions
How do you compute bias?
