Transfer of training along the difficulty dimension was studied in the rotary pursuit situation using a modified proactive-retroactive inhibition experimental design. Difficulty was varied by changing speed of rotation. Two speeds were used: 55 RPM and 60 RPM. Greater than 100% transfer was obtained in cases where training was given at 55 RPM and the final test was at 60 RPM. The pattern of training of 55/60/60 (slow to fast) proved superior in the final test to the pattern 60/55/60 (fast to slow) even though the amount of training at the two speeds was the same for the two conditions.
