Peer reviewedWeaver, Charles A., III; Kintsch, Walter – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1992

Data indicate that students are able to perceive and use similarities in such problems at the level of a conceptual structure. A training session to explain relevant structural principles was effective in improving performance. (SLD)
