Frenkie de Jong is the most perceptually flexible player I know, and his extensive repertoire of scan types superbly support his agile style of play. Here 14 players are looking at the ball, while de Jong already is preparing the disruptive pass that ends up with a Wijnaldum shot

@DrGBuckingham Shame you didn't have your guitar handy to strum Em7 from top to bottom. What a tune!

Someone outside my office is laughing really quite loudly in exactly the same sinister tone and cadence as the intro to Breathe by Pink Floyd

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe I'm afraid I don't really understand your question. Are you saying that your use of the word weird in everything other than the initial learning context is transfer? I just don't see how this is transfer at all. Isn't this just learning? What do we get by calling this transfer?

@rhythmicpsych @matthewslocombe Reply 2 But hypothetically in simple language can you please explain why learning the word "Weird" when I was 6 years old, seeing an odd-looking dude(from a parent), and using the same 10000 times for things and people that fit the category?

Language itself is an eg. But better ask > Learning scientists @P_A_Kirschner @DTWillingham @dylanwiliam @timbocop @MirjamN > Transfer Scientist @CheungJJH > Cultural-Evo-analogy @LottyBrand @amesoudi @psmaldino @CTennie @matthewslocombe > Sports @ShakeyWaits @PsychScientists

OK, following up on this: Is there any GOOD evidence that transfer of learning, you know, happens at all? Is it even actually a thing? @emollick @PTetlock @AdamMGrant @erezyoeli ?

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe Sounds a bit slippery to me. You're happy to accept anecdote when it fits with you're preconceived notion of transfer. My response seems to have been eaten by Twitter. I'll respond now.

@rhythmicpsych @matthewslocombe My interest is not primarily descriptive, but decision and design. Anecdotal and abductive is not bad in a world without pre-existing data(Entrepreneurship) Since you asked, Could you please try 👇 twitter.com/johnywrites/st…

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe Rare as in, we don't find it where we think we'll find it. That's not quite the reductionist, grand sweeping statement that you're making out. But then you're quite happy to make your own generalisations regarding your anecdotal experience with language 🤔

@rhythmicpsych @matthewslocombe But you use Eco-Psy(Gibson Said that) perspective, right? You are the one who used the term "Rare" and made a universal and sounded like a perpetual generalization. But all the studies I provided show evidence against that claim of yours

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe This isn't strictly eco Vs cog stuff. This is part of the rich history of psychology's attempt to understand learning. Those terms weren't part of Thorndikes vocabulary.

@rhythmicpsych @matthewslocombe Reply 1 Thanks for sharing, I now see where your thinking comes from(Eco-Psy Vs Cog-Psy) I will definitely check that out. I now see why Language causes the issue.

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe Start with Thorndike's 1901 papers, work through to Schmidt and Young's work (1980s), see that there's been a modern resurgence in transfer, namely cognitive transfer (Perkins, 90s) and further interest and skepticism on sweeping claims made by brain training apps (Boot, 10s)

@rhythmicpsych @matthewslocombe 5# You said transfer is rare but there is a huge amount of literature that suggests it is a gray area at best. What is your thought on that? I also don't get the science behind your "generalization" twitter.com/rhythmicpsych/…
Danny Leach@rhythmicpsych

@PsychScientists @amcafee @emollick @PTetlock @AdamMGrant @erezyoeli Intuitively, it sounds absurd to say that transfer may well never happen. However, the evidence base for transfer, when we might expect to see it, is at best very rare. What this uncovers is our inconsistent and often purely intuitional definition of task. First: define task.

@johnywrites @matthewslocombe 2nd language learning and your previous example are very different. Not all learning of 2nd languages are equal. Check out Thorndikes identical elements theory and his study of Latin!

@jamesheathers I don't know if titles are a decent heuristic for quality being as we play the feed the algorithm game with our titles and abstracts. But hell, I'm not reading that paper to find out 🤣.

@matthewslocombe @johnywrites If it's not spontaneous, is it really transfer? I always end up coming back round to the problem being definitional. Johnny put up those search results showing thousands of published articles on "transfer" in the last few years. I just don't see definitional consistency at all.
