    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Recent brain imaging studies have provided new insight into\nhow students are able to extend their previous problem solving\nskills to new but similar problems. It is still unclear, however,\nwhat the basis is of individual differences in their success at\ntransfer. In this study, 75 subjects had been trained to solve\na set of mathematical problems before they were put into the\nfMRI scanner, where they were challenged to solve modified\nversions of familiar problems. A hidden semi-Markov model\nidentified the sequential structure of thought when solving the\nproblems. Analyzing the patterns of brain activity over the sequence\nof states identified by the model, we observed that subjects\nwho showed consistent brain patterns performed better.\nThis consistency refers to both how consistently subjects respond\nto different problems (within-subject consistency), and\nhow brain responses of a given subject deviate from the population\naverage (between-subjects consistency). Early withinsubject\nconsistency is particularly predictive of later performance\nin the experiment.",
