TYPES OF TRANSFER - Coggle Diagram
TYPES OF TRANSFER
-
POSITIVE TRANSFER
-
-
-
for example, an overarm throw and the tennis serve are similar skills and therefore a positive transfer is likely to occur and the throw is used to learn the serve
NEGATIVE TRANSFER
negative transfer occurs when having learned one skill, it makes learning the second skill more difficult
-
-
for example, a tennis player may be misjudge her shots when playing indoors because the techniques are needed are subtly different from those required in outdoor play.
-
BASIC TO COMPLEX
in the teaching and coaching of movement skills in sport, it is common practice to teach basic skills first and then build upon these skills first and continue to to achieve more advanced sophisticated skills
for younger children especially the fundamental motor skills of throwing and catching are encouraged so they can then be transferred to more complex skills such as a serve or netball pass
practical example: to teach straddle vault in gymnastics, the coach will break the skill up into a sequence of activities
SITUATIONAL INFLUENCES
-
if the response to a training stimulus is not consistent with the response demanded in the real situation, negative transfer could take place and bad habits could be encouraged
for example, a teacher may use traffic cones to coach dribbling skills in hockye, but the method used to go around the cones is very different from the way a player will go around a real opponent.
BILATERAL TRANSFER
refers to the capacity of a performer who may be dominantly right - sided to perform a skill with the left side of the body
takes place in two ways:
cognitive aspects --> understanding what is required e.g. "I swing my left foot in the same way I swing my right foot"
transfer of the motor programme --> the pattern of one movement learned by one limb is used subconsciously by the other limb
example: a footballer who can shoot with the right and left foot with matching power and accuracy is a considerable asset to the team
