Far transfer

Far transfer means improvement that remains visible when format, conditions, or context are changed. In IQMindware, transfer is treated as a test condition, not a promise statement.

What it means in practice

Most training gains are near transfer: they stay close to the original task format. Far transfer asks a harder question: does the gain survive when the situation changes?

IQMindware treats this as a protocol condition. A method is designed to be tested under change, not described as universally effective.

How it is checked
  • Game swaps: same target process, different game format.
  • Boundary/trap probes: detect brittle strategy behavior.
  • Delayed re-checks: verify persistence after time delay.
  • Cue-fired mission use: check whether the method appears in real tasks.
