better to do, have begun
             playing video games. One of the first we started to play together was Tomb Raider. Tomb
             Raider is an action/adventure game that only lets you progress to the next level once you
             have successfully completed the current level. Some of levels are rather challenging and
             my husband and I often found ourselves stuck in one problem that we could not solve to
             go onto the next level. We would try and try to get past this obstacle, but just couldn't
             figure it out. One night, while watching TV, the solution just "came to me". This is what is
             known as the "a ha phenomenon".
             Understanding the concept if transfer is also very important to getting to know
             ourselves as learners. Transfer occurs when learning task A influences task B. When
             learning task A helps us to learn task B, positive transfer has taken place. When learning
             task A obstructs learning task B, negative transfer has occurred.
             One experience I have had with positive transfer is that of learning to ride a motorcycle
             after I had learned to ride a bicycle. When I was eleven years old we lived in a very rural
             area and rather than take me to my best friends house, 5 miles away, they opted to get me
             my own transportation. A motorcycle. The motorcycle was a step up from the bicycle I
             had learned to ride a few years earlier, the difference being that I didn't have to pedal. I
             thought the difference was huge, but in all actuality it wasn't. The main goal of learning
             how to ride a motorcycle was balance, something I had already learned on my bicycle.
             Once I applied the same concept of balance I had learned on my bicycle, it was much
             easier to achieve success on the motorcycle.
