Transfer of training in tracking as a function of control friction

Abstract

105 reserve officer training cadets, divided at random into groups of 15, practiced to a learning criterion on one pursuit tracking task and then on a second in which the control level friction was less or more (experimental groups) or the same (control groups). "Transfer effect was found to range from 86 to 93 per cent positive transfer; it was… relatively independent of control friction under the conditions used… finally, control friction had little apparent influence on original learning… ." 17 references.
