BTEC Sport Level 3 Practice Test

Near transfer happens when you apply a skill learned in one task to a very similar task within the same activity. Learning a free-throw in basketball builds shooting technique—balance, grip, release, and follow-through—that also applies to other basketball shots. Since both tasks are basketball shooting and rely on the same motor patterns and context, the transfer is near. The other scenarios involve a different sport, a non-motor aspect, or using nutrition to affect performance rather than transferring a learned motor skill within the same sport.
