How does MSK is transmitted in pre-authentication phase in 802.1x authentication?

How does MSK is transmitted in pre-authentication phase in 802.1x authentication?

The image is taken from https://mrncciew.com/2014/08/19/cwsp-4-way-handshake/ . How does it transmit the keys without session establishment in untrusted medium. Is it that after EAP is successful, authenticator sends the MSK to supplicant transparently that it received from authentication server?

Also I have follow up question, based on the following diagram, how MSK is derived for WPA-PSK (Personal authentication) environment?
