Abstract

PURPOSE: This article reviews the literature on far transfer effects in training of older adults. METHODS: Adapting a taxonomy of transfer developed by Barnett and Ceci (2002), to rehabilitation or enhancement of existing cognitive skills; results of studies assessing transfer effects from training of memory, reasoning, UFOV, dual task performance, and complex training are classified. RESULTS: Comparisons of the transfer outcomes of both strategy training and extended practice approaches suggest that far transfer has been observed. CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes for strategy studies training memory have had less success than extended practice studies in obtaining far transfer. Reasons for this are discussed, as are suggestions for improved assessment of transfer outcomes.
