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:
“Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.”
—Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
