Transfer of learning refers to how learning in one context can affect performance or learning in another context. There are three types of transfer: positive transfer where previous learning facilitates new learning, zero transfer where there is no influence either way, and negative transfer where previous learning interferes with new learning. Transfer of learning involves the carry over of habits, knowledge, or skills from one learning situation to another.
