Illustrations, Analogies, and Facilitative Transfer in Prose Learning

Royer, James M.; Cable, Glenn W.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 68, 2, 205-9, Apr 76

Tests, with five groups, the production of facilitative transfer effects with the use of five abstract passages. It was predicted, based on assumptions about knowledge structures that three of the groups would recall more from the second passage than would the latter two groups. The results confirmed this prediction. (Author/DEP)
