Episode notes
Transfer of Training
- Transfer of training is the gain or loss in ability on one task due to practicing another.
- Focus on far transfer, improvement in dissimilar competition, not just near transfer (improvement in similar practice tasks).
Near Transfer Fallacy
- Many sports technologies like Neurotracker only show near transfer improvements.
- Lumosity and Ultimise were fined for false far transfer claims, highlighting this issue.
Specificity of Practice
- You can't get good at something without practicing that specific thing.
- Transfer only comes from very similar tasks, a sometimes inconvenient truth.
