Cognitive Load, Schema Acquisition, and Procedural Adaptation in Nonisomorphic Analogical Transfer.

Pierce, Karen A.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n1 p66-74 Mar 1993

Cognitive load theory was explored in 3 conditions among 96 third graders in nonisomorphic analogical transfer (problems do not have identical structures, constraints, and problem spaces). Conditions under which children best adjust the base to the target are discussed, and implications for transfer are reviewed. (SLD)
