Accelerating Reinforcement Learning with Learned Skill Priors (2020, background): “[37] Robert S Woodworth and EL Thorndike.”
The Import of Knowledge Export: Connecting Findings and Theories of Transfer of Learning (2012, background): “In particular, Thorndike’s (1924; Thorndike & Woodworth, 1901) seminal ideas regarding the importance of overlapping features, or “identical elements,” between the learning and transfer situations remain an important aspect of current psychological theories.”
A Speculative Perspective on the Transfer of Behavioral Science Findings to the Workplace: “The Times They are A-Changin'” (2007, background): “In light of laboratory experiments, Thorndike and Woodworth (1901) advocated transfer of learning based on identical elements, McGehee and Thayer (1961) proposed transfer on the basis of principles, and Ellis (1965) emphasized the importance of stimulus variability.”
Domain Adaptation by Mixture of Alignments of Second-or Higher-Order Scatter Tensors (2016, background): “was introduced in 1901 under a notion of “transfer of particle” [46].”
Cultural Framing of Computer/Video Games (2002, background): “Thorndike & Woodworth, 1901 ) conducted a pioneering set of studies challenging popular”
Toward a Science of Effective Cognitive Training (2020, background): “In their common-elements theory, Thorndike and Woodworth (1901) argued that transfer happens within one domain via knowledge that shares common elements but that far transfer is rare.”
The Effect of Mental Practice and Goal Setting as a Transfer of Training Intervention on Supervisors’ Self‐efficacy and Communication Skills: An Exploratory Study (2000, unknown): “Traditional approaches to bringing about transfer of training in organisational settings have been based primarily on findings in experimental psychology, namely, identical elements (Thorndike & Woodworth, 1901), general principles (McGehee & Thayer, 1961), and stimulus variability (Ellis, 1965).”
Enhancing Cognition with Video Games: A Multiple Game Training Study (2013, background): “However, although a theory of identical elements [24] can explain the transfer effects in this study, a major gap remains.”
