Solution:

Learning is that the acquisition of skills, habits, knowledge, and attitudes, influences the acquisition of new learning due to some kind of carry-over effect.Transfer of learning:-The carrying over of feelings, habits, skills, and knowledge from one learning area to another is called transfer of learning.Transfer of learning implies that training in one faculty of the mind may help in the functioning of older faculties as well various faculties of mind - memory, reasoning, judgment, observation, etc. - are directed or trained through various academic subjects.Languages and mathematics give training to the mind which helps in learning other subjects. A person who possesses a good knack for language, can learning and retain any fact easily.Important PointsTransfer of training affects the learning of a new task in three ways: (a) positive, (b) negative, and (c) zeroPositive Transfer-When learning of the task makes the second task easier to learn, the positive transfer effect is seen.What one has learned in one subject or a task may facilitate learning in another subject or task.In positive transfer, the carry-over of knowledge or skill is beneficial to future learning. skill in riding a bicycle facilitates learning to ride a motorcycle.Negative Transfer-There are cases in which the previous learning interferes with subsequent learning.In such cases, the carryover of knowledge or experience in one task interferes with further learning.As a result of negative transfer, performance on one task may block performance on the subsequent task.Zero Transfer-In zero transfer, the performance in the new situation is neither aided nor hindered by past learning.Learning to typewrite, will not affect the painting.Thus, it is concluded that the given activity tests the learner's skill in the transfer of learning as he understands how to make a tea and now he is transferring his learning in making a flow chart for that.
