Transfer Enhancement (continued)

Learning and memory retention techniques continued:

  • Provide Reinforcement - Positive reinforcement helps to maintain learner motivation and to "shape" the behavior being trained.
    • On-the-job feedback and positive reinforcement are essential to successful training transfer.
  • Accommodate Processing Time - Information received by our sensory system is stored for only a very brief period. Information must be transferred to working memory within this period or it is lost.
    • Prepare and present training materials, so that enough time is allowed for the learner to transmit information to working memory.
    • Enable access to all material presented so that learners may review information that was "missed."
    • Repeat key information, perhaps with different phrasing, so the learner has additional opportunity to process the information.
  • Use Elaboration - Elaborating with additional information or details increases learning strength.
  • Structure Information - Information that is structured hierarchically on presentation is more likely to be recalled later.
  • Use Multiple Associations - The more associations that are created between new information and information already in memory, the greater the likelihood of recall.
  • Provide Practice - Practice exponentially increases learning strength. In other words, three practice sessions produces nine times more learning than one.
