Abstract

Two experiments explored whether encoding a causal relation underlying a scientific concept was affected by types of causality questions and also by presentation formats of analogy. Experiment 1 showed that none of these variables produced any significant analogical learning effects as measured by the number of solutions in inference problems. By asking counterfactual questions regarding both the source and the target, Experiment 2, however, demonstrated that compared to the causal questions, counterfactual questions were effective in improving analogical learning of scientific concepts. Present results were discussed in regard to causality encoding.
