El transfer es un proceso fundamental en el aprendizaje pues permite aplicar lo aprendido en un contexto a otro diferente. Sin embargo, hasta el momento, no existe una prueba específica de medida de transfer. Este trabajo analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Prueba de Evaluación del Proceso de Transfer, diseñada con objeto de estudiar la capacidad del transfer en la población de estudiantes de Secundaria. Los análisis realizados permitieron identificar cuatro variables fundamentales en el proceso de transfer, correspondientes a las fases teóricas descritas al efecto.
