Answer to Question 1

Specific transfer occurs when an initially learned task makes it easier to learn a subsequent task because the two tasks share one or more specific features, as in learning two Romance languages.

Answer to Question 2

Negative transfer occurs when knowledge of one task or skill interferes with learning a second task or skill. Racquetball players often find it difficult to switch to tennis (and vice versa) because the action of the arm in the swing is so different.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
