Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
Low-road transfer is the automatic application of a well-practised skill in a similar context, usually without conscious attention.
High-road transfer is deliberate and mindful: the learner abstracts a principle and applies it to a different context.
APPLICATION
Statement I attaches conscious, effortful transfer to the low road, but those features define high-road transfer. Therefore Statement I is false.
Statement II attaches automatic, often unconscious transfer to the high road, but those features define low-road transfer. Therefore Statement II is false.
CONTRAST
The pattern “both true” marks zero statements false, whereas classification by the definitions gives two false statements.
The pattern “both false” marks two statements false, and classification by the definitions also gives two false statements.
Each mixed pattern marks one statement false, whereas classification by the definitions gives two false statements.
Thus, both Statement I and Statement II are false.
