  10. Types of transfer: Negative past knowledge inhibits new learning Example: false cognates English/Dutch: The Sign Really Says, "Mommy, (I want) that one, that one, that one. Please."

  11. Types of transfer: Near Transfer of knowledge between closely related concepts A person who knows how to drive a car can transfer these existing skills to learn how to drive a bus Automated task oriented

  12. Types of transfer: Far Transfer of knowledge between (seemingly) disparate concepts VS. A person who has a lot of practice driving an automatic may have difficulty learning to drive a manual transmission car. Thinking process oriented
