If stimulus variability enables greater generalization of new skills, what type of transfer is especially important?

A) near transfer
B) far transfer
C) horizontal transfer
D) vertical transfer

Far transfer is especially important when stimulus variability enables greater generalization of new skills. Far transfer involves the application of skills or knowledge learned in one context to a different, less familiar context. This type of transfer requires more cognitive flexibility and creativity than near transfer, which involves applying skills or knowledge in contexts similar to the original learning context. Horizontal transfer involves applying skills or knowledge to different but related contexts, and vertical transfer involves applying skills or knowledge to more advanced or specialized contexts within the same domain.
