Question

"As a tennis instructor, I have previously taught my students the forehand stroke. I am now about to teach them the backhand stroke. During the teaching of the backhand stroke I am continually emphasizing that the goals for the forehand and backhand stroke are the same. Identify the theory that would predict positive transfer based upon the above information."

Answer 1

Answer:

Transfer Appropriate Processing Theory

Explanation:

Transfer appropriate processing theory is a type of state-dependent memory which mainly explains that how a memory functions isn’t determined only on the depth of processing but also by the relationship between how information is initially encoded and how it is later retrieved.

Memory is usually efficient when the processes involved during encoding match those engaged during retrieval. This simply states that to have memory successfully recalled there needs to be a corresponding successful encoding process.
