Document Summary
Performance: the behavior act of executing a skill at a specific time and in a specific situation: indicator of someone learning a skill, retention and transfer. Learning: a change in the capability of a person to perform a skill that must be inferred from a relatively permanent improvement in performance as a result of practice or experience. Performance variables: factors that can affect a person"s performance but not the degree of learning the person has achieved. Transfer of learning: the influence of prior learning on the learning of a new skill or the performance of a skill in a new context. All about behavior (performance) but not always enough: critical, but it all depends on how the brain works. Learning is a relatively permanent change in the capability to perform a skill. Learning cannot be directly measured it is inferred from performance: observable behavior.
