This paper aims to investigate perceptual-motor skill transfer, both through the specific as well as the general aspect of skill transfer. Specifically, we examined differences in skill transfer that occurred between participants who are skilled in practicing a perceptual motor activity involving striking with an implement and participants who are skilled in their own sports but are novice to striking task (i.e., batting an immobile ball). Skill transfer was assessed through the effect of practicing a new, novel task on the performance (ball velocity), intrinsic behavior (elbow and shoulder kinematic) as well as on the impetus for exploratory behavior (variability of elbow and shoulder kinematics) in the two groups of participants (n = 8 for each group), with reference to another group of expert participants (n = 8) for this batting task. Results showed that positive skill transfer was present and was multidimensional in the group of participants who have experience in using an implement in striking tasks. In addition, both specific transfer as well as general transfer were dependent on the task dynamics. More precisely, positive transfer was observed both through a sharing of similar movement patterns, an impetus for exploration and a direct transfer of performance in a novel task between groups who have experience in using an implement in striking tasks.

本文旨在通过技能转移的特定和一般方面来研究感知运动技能的转移。具体来说，我们研究了熟练进行感知运动活动（包括用机具进行打击）的参与者与精通自己运动但对打击任务不熟悉的参与者（即击打不动球）之间发生的技能转移差异。通过在两个方面的表现（球速），内在行为（肘部和肩膀的运动学）以及探索行为（肘部和肩膀的运动学的变化）的推动力上实施新的新颖任务的效果来评估技能转移每组参与者（每组n = 8），并参考该击球任务的另一组专家参与者（n = 8）。结果表明，在使用工具完成打击任务的经验的参与者组中，存在积极的技能转移，并且是多维的。另外，具体的转移和一般的转移都取决于任务的动态。更准确地说，通过共享类似的运动方式，探索的动力以及在具有使用打击工具的工具的经验的团队之间直接转移新任务中的性能，可以观察到积极的转移。
