When a child learns to write with right hand it, facilitate his learning to write with left hand. This transfer of writing skills from right hand to left hand is known as -

Transfer of learning refers to the application of knowledge or skills acquired in one context to new contexts. It plays a vital role in education as it helps learners apply what they have learned in different situations.

 Key Points

• There are various types of transfer of learning such as positive, negative, lateral, bilateral, vertical, and horizontal. 
• When a child learns to write with the right hand and this learning supports or facilitates writing with the left hand, it is an example of bilateral transfer of learning.
• This type of transfer occurs between two sides of the body.
• Bilateral transfer is especially relevant in motor skills and physical activities, where training on one side of the body helps improve performance on the opposite side.
• This happens due to the coordination between the brain's hemispheres and the generalization of learned motor patterns, making it easier to transfer the skill from one hand to the other.

Hint

• Sequential transfer refers to learning that builds step-by-step, where earlier learning helps in later stages of a sequence, but not specifically between body parts.
• Lateral transfer typically refers to the transfer of learning from one context to another on the same level of complexity, not across body sides.
• Negative transfer occurs when previous learning interferes with new learning, which is the opposite of what happens in this case.

Hence, the correct answer is Bilateral transfer of learning.
