Knowledge transfer

Knowledge transfer is the transfer of facts or practical skills from one entity to another. The specific profile of transfer processes that are activated for a given situation depends on the type of knowledge to be transferred, how it is represented (i.e., the source and recipient relationship with this knowledge), and the processing demands of the transfer task. From this perspective, knowledge transfer in humans encompasses expertise from different disciplines, including psychology, cognitive anthropology, anthropology of knowledge, communication studies, and media ecology.
