Abstract	Following a summary of what is presently known about transfer skills, the options available for assessment of transfer skills are identified and problems inherent in that task examined. Transfer skills (the ability or capacity of the learner or worker to transfer skills or knowledge from prior experiences to new ones) are discussed using the work of a number of contemporary theorists and noting points of general agreement. Types of educational measurements that can be applied to the assessment of transfer of skills are classified as either traditional or nontraditional methods. Traditional methods examined are paper and pencil, multiple choice, and objective tests. Nontraditional methods analyzed are interviews and oral examinations; simulations; essays; performance tests; and self-assessment devices. Examples of each, their use as well as advantages and disadvantages, are given. It is noted that no specific tests or procedures could be recommended as end-alls; rather, they are presented as tools to help determine if transfer has occurred. A bibliography of selected documents describing nontraditional assessment methods is included as an appendix. (MEK)
