Psychological Scope of Transfer Research
As transfer pertains to the dependency of an individual's experience and behavior on prior experience and behavior, its research must involve all aspects of psychological functioning, ranging from physical activities, cognitive processes (e.g., thinking), emotion and connation, to its social and environmental dimensions. Although the cognitive connotation of skill has largely emerged as the dominant conception, it is not truly possible to appreciate the real meaning of skill without linking it to its motor or behavioral origins (Adams, 1987; Pear, 1927, 1948), and without extending its scope to include socio-emotional dimensions.

Famous quotes containing the words scope, transfer and/or research:
“For it is not the bare words but the scope of the writer that gives the true light, by which any writing is to be interpreted; and they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive no thing from them clearly.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
