Zero Transfer occurs when:

Zero Transfer occurs when:

• A. When a previously learned skill benefits another skill
• B. When a previously learned skill has no impact on the learning of a future skill
• C. When a previously learned skill impedes another skill
• D. When a new skill transfers efficiently across domains

Answer: (B)

Transfer of learning in physical education can be positive, negative, or zero. Zero transfer means the previously learned skill has no influence on learning a future skill. This happens when the new task relies on different muscle groups, movement patterns, timing, or goals so the earlier practice doesn’t provide useful cues or reinforcement. For example, skills from one sport might not help you learn an unrelated skill in another sport because the movements and contexts are sufficiently different. So the statement that a previously learned skill has no impact on the learning of a future skill captures zero transfer.
