Abstract

This study examined whether analogical learning of scientific concepts can result in a better performance in inference problem solving. Donnelly and McDaniel's (1993) basic results regarding analogical learning effects were not replicated in Experiment 1. Analogical Teaming with pictures, however, was effective on inference in Experiment 2. The pattern of results in these experiments indicates that working memory affects analogical learning of new concepts via its mapping process.
