Answer to Question 1

Factors that influence transfer include the following: (1) Meaningfulness. The more thoroughly learners understand the characteristics of mammals, for instance, the more likely they are to identify new examples of mammals. (2) Similarity between learning situations: For example, if learners have had experiences with cows, horses, deer, dogs, and cats, and understand that they're mammals, they're more likely to conclude that a moose is a mammal than to conclude that a whale is a mammal. (3) Conceptual knowledge. Concepts, for instance, are more likely to transfer than are facts.
