Answer 1

Answer:

Harumi attends a training session at which she learns a great deal, and she does well on a post-training test. However, when she attempts to apply her learning to the job, she finds that she cannot do so effectively. In this case, the training demonstrated good results on the learning criterion and poor results on the behavioral criterion.

Explanation:

Learning criterion is a good predictor of results and a modest criterion for transfer while the behavior criterion is a modest predictor of results.

Learning criterion : opinion of training material (Test)

• Immediate knowledge
• Knowledge retention
• Behavior/skill demonstration

Behavioral criterion : Trainee job performance (ratings)

• Transfer

In this case, the training demonstrated good results on the learning criterion and poor results on the behavioral criterion.
