Question

Analyze the following pairs of skills to determine their similarities and differences. Be sure to compare the fundamental movement pattern, strategic and conceptual aspects, perceptual elements, and temporal and spatial elements. Based on your analysis, assess the potential for transfer, either positive or negative, for each pairing.
a. Cane walking and using a walker
b. Downhill skiing and water skiing
c. Kickball and baseball
d. Mountain biking and whitewater kayaking

Answer 1

Answer:

learning another thing which will be affected by past encounters that may identified with present action is only exchange  

There are three kinds of moves

1) positive exchange : present learning action related or like past understanding or identified with past action which definitely know  

2) negative exchange : inverse to positive that our past experience restricts to become familiar with another action  

3) zero exchange : here our past experience is absolutely different to our current learning action and have no effect on present action  

a) stick strolling and utilizing a walker goes under constructive exchange as stick strolling is like strolling utilizing walker both relies upon portability issues of an individual and key development design, key and calculated viewpoints and perceptual components was Same for both as strolling upheld by component which requires practically Same vitality and example  

b) it additionally goes under constructive exchange as in both skiing individual push ahead by gravitational power in downhill and Pulled by water in water skiing here the perceptual components vary however method of activity was similar to pick up skiing  

c) it' falls under positive  move in light of the fact that here kicking activity is normal and key example practically same assists with learning other game  

d) it goes under zero exchange as the two games contrast in central example just as perceptual components

Answer 2

Answer:

a. Cane walking and using a walker  (Positive transfer)

b. Downhill skiing and water skiing  (Positive transfer)

c. Kickball and baseball  (Negative transfer)

d. Mountain biking and whitewater kayaking (Zero transfer)

Explanation:

The act of learning something new that has the ability to be impacted by experiences from the past, which are somewhat related to present activity is simply known as transfer. In reality, three kinds of transfers exists, and they are:

1. Positive transfer: This occurs when what was learned in one situation helps in learning in another entirely different situation. An example of this a knowledge of mathematics may help to grasp subjects related to mathematics such as physics.  

2. Negative Transfer: This occurs when learning one task will only ensure that the other task becomes difficult to learn. An example of this: Learning how to drive an automatic car would hinder learning a manual transmission car.

3. Neutral transfer:  This occurs when learning a task has no effect on the learning of another task. This means that it neither helps nor negatively impacts. It is sometimes referred to as zero transfer. An example of this can be seen where the knowledge of English does not affect someone ability to drive a car.

a. Cane walking and using a walker are two activities that can be used interchangeable for the same purpose. Hence learning how to use a cane walker can help in learning how to use a walker since the major difference lies in its design but are used for aiding movement, which is the reason for selecting positive transfer.

b. Downhill skiing and water skiing: There have been testimonies from people who say the knowledge of downhill skiing made learning water skiing easy for them. This is because they both involve the use of almost same accessories, but one is done on water and the other is done on snow on mountains. However, they both involve the same movement pattern and are both activities for pleasure and involve almost same type of skills. Hence there will be a positive transfer in this case.

c. Kickball and Baseball: While kickball has different movement pattern from baseball entirely and involves the use of the leg in the sports, baseball involves the use of bats and hands rather than legs. The game rules are totally different and have no similarities whatsoever. Hence the premise for selecting negative transfer. Learning how to play kickball can have a negative impact on learning how to play baseball because of their very different rules, accessories, and about everything.

d. Mountain biking and whitewater kayaking has zero transfer because while they are both leisure activities, they involve very different movement patterns. However learning how to ride a bike has totally no effect on learning how to paddle a boat, which are related to the both activities above, and hence they fall under zero transfer.
