Schema Training in Analogical Reasoning.

Robins, Shani; Mayer, Richard E.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n3 p529-38 Sep 1993

In 3 experiments, 93, 97, and 86 college students, respectively, learned how to solve 20 verbal analogy problems and took transfer and memory tests. Results are inconsistent with active responding theory and further indicate that schema induction is maximized when the schemas are made salient and the cognitive system is not overloaded. (SLD)
