Traditional Fields of Transfer Research
There are a nearly unlimited number of research fields that share some applied interest into the study of transfer, as it pertains to learning in general. Three fields that contributed in most substantial ways to the progress of transfer research, both from a conception and empirical point of view, are the fields of education science, linguistics, and human-computer interaction (HCI). In fact, most transfer research has been conducted in reference to one of these applied settings, rather than in basic cognitive psychological laboratory conditions.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional, fields, transfer and/or research:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy.

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep....

I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
