Abstract

S. Kim and Y. Lee (1991) demonstrated a significant transfer effect in solutions from a missionary-cannibal to a jealous husband-wife problem by presenting structurally mapped subgoals. Two experiments of the present study further examined which hypothesis is correct in explaining such a symmetric transfer effect, subgoal mapping, changes in processing strategies, or degree of constraints learning. The pattern of results supports the subgoal mapping hypothesis.
