When students, who have learned to type on a typewriter, transfer this skill to typing on a computer keyboard, it is an example of _______ learning.

Transferring typing from a typewriter to a computer keyboard is near transfer, between highly similar tasks.

Far-transfer (A) applies a skill to a very different context.

High-road transfer (B) needs deliberate, mindful abstraction of a principle.

Low-road transfer (D) is automatic, but the item is defined by task similarity here.

Near transfer occurs when the new situation closely resembles the original.

Perkins and Salomon drew the near/far and high-road/low-road transfer distinctions.
