  2. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. Factors that can affect transfer include: Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  3. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    Similarity: Also referred to as identical elements theory, a high degree of similarity between the training environment and work environment increases the positive transfer of training. [2] [4] [3] Active Learning : Hands-on practice of material contributes to positive transfer, especially when it incorporates a variety of different contexts.

  4. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    Identity function. In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f(x) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.

  5. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound. A compound can be transformed into a different substance by a chemical ...

  6. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

    In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. [1] It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to each other. A nullary union refers to a union of zero ( ) sets and it is by definition equal to the empty set.

  7. Quantum entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

    Quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

  8. Law of identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_identity

    Identity is a relation on individuals. It is not a relation between propositions, and is not concerned with the meaning of propositions, nor with equivocation. The law of identity can be expressed as , where x is a variable ranging over the domain of all individuals. In logic, there are various different ways identity can be handled.

  9. Identity (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(philosophy)

    The philosophical concept concerns a relation, specifically, a relation that x and y stand in if, and only if they are one and the same thing, or identical to each other (i.e. if, and only if x = y ). The sociological notion of identity, by contrast, has to do with a person's self-conception, social presentation, and more generally, the aspects ...
