The Amount of Transfer of Training in Education Is Less Than Has Been Commonly Supposed

Harman G Dlugatz, Fordham University

Abstract

The problem of the transfer of training has an interesting history. In the early part of the nineteenth century a book by Gail and Spurzheim was published, "Anatomie et Physiologie du Système îlervaux", which contained an explanation of Gall’s System of Phrenology. The brain was supposed to have over thirty separate and individual organs, each organ being the seat of the most complex psychic capacities or internal senses. The localization of these internal senses happened according to this system to be found on the brain’s surface,' and certain protruberances or prominences on the skull were external evidence of the existence of these internal senses.
