Subclaims¶

q1 i? Performance on the first task indicates progress in training, but transfer task performance measures what subjects have been trained to do. → Norman 1972

q1 · i? · causal · r1

Methodological statement from the overview of the experimental design. The authors argue that "only the transfer task situation can be used to determine the extent to which the trainee can make use of what he learned in training."

"performance on the first task is indicative of progress in training but transfer task performance is a measure of what subjects have been trained to do."
