Peer reviewed

The Transfer of Laboratory Training: Some Issues Explored

Peer reviewed

Katz, Stephen I.; Schwebel, Andrew I. – Small Group Behavior, 1976

This study was designed to compare the effects of residential and nonresidential laboratories in transfer of training. Subjects were middle-level managers. The results indicated no differences in transfer in the two groups. Both groups underwent substantial changes in their perspective on work problems and in their use of work-related skills. (NG)
