Mawer, Robert F.; Sweller, John – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
When subgoal location was appropriate to the serial pattern, subjects were likely to use a strategy resulting in enhanced rule induction and transfer with increased subgoal density. When subgoal location was not appropriate, subjects tended to use a strategy resulting in considerably reduced role induction and transfer. (Author/PN)
