• Physical Maturation 🧬

  • Important for learning new skills.
  • If a person hasn't physically matured enough, they may not be able to perform certain tasks or learn certain skills.

• Physical Fitness 🏃

  • Just being physically mature doesn't mean someone can do a task, they also need to be physically fit.
  • If they aren't fit enough, physical training can help.

• Motivation 🎯

  • The most important factor in learning.
  • The person has to WANT to learn.
  • Closely linked with physical maturation, people tend to know when they're ready to learn something new.

💡 Example: Imagine a 13-year-old who's physically matured enough to start lifting weights. However, if they're not fit enough, they might struggle. But, with training and a strong desire to learn, they can get there!

• Positive Transfer

  • When practicing one task helps in learning or performing another.
  • 🎾 Example: Playing tennis can improve hand-eye coordination, which can help in playing badminton.

• Negative Transfer

  • When practicing one task makes it harder to learn or perform another.
  • 🚗 Example: If you've been driving in a country where people drive on the left, you might struggle to adjust to driving on the right in another country.

• Zero Transfer

  • When practicing one task doesn't affect the learning or performance of another.
  • 📖 Example: Being good at history doesn't necessarily make you good at math.
