skill transfer
Learning carries over
Skill transfer is the application of abilities learned in one context to a different situation.
A surgeon's fine motor control may transfer to woodworking; athletic training may transfer to dance.
The concept appears in education, psychology, and workplace training, where the goal is developing skills that generalize beyond their original domain: The course emphasizes skill transfer to real-world problems.
