Abstract
Some of the issues of broad‐based training, which is aimed at promoting transferability of skill, are examined and related to the concept of transfer of training. The classical research findings on transfer are summarized and some implications for training policy are drawn. The concept of transfer is re‐examined in the light of recent ideas in cognitive psychology and the psychology of individual differences, and suggestions are made for training methods which could be expected to enhance transfer and hence transferability. Finally, attention is drawn to problems to which future research should be addressed.Keywords
