Abstract

Two experiments were designed to test a processing load hypothesis and a strategies hypothesis on the nature of asymmetric and / or no transfer effects between similar problems (e.g., Reed, Ernst & Banerji, 1974: Gick & Holyoak, 1980). Using a missionary-cannibal and a jealous husband-wife problem, we obtained results that supports the predictions derived from the strategies hypothesis. Unlike previous work, we also found a symmetric transfer effect between these two problems.
