Oller, John W., Jr. – Linguistics, 1972
Induction refers to categorizing sensory experience and substitution to interchanging similar objects. If similar items are functionally identical and near the focus of attention at nearly the same time, similarity impedes learning (interference). If either condition is not fulfilled, similarity aids learning (transfer). (DD)
