    "title": "Promoting Spontaneous Analogical Transfer: The Role of Category Status",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Analogical comparison promotes spontaneous transfer by\nencouraging a more abstract representation that may be easier\nto retrieve. The category status hypothesis states that: if\nknowledge is represented as a relational category, it is easier\nto activate as a result of categorizing (as opposed to cue-based\nreminding). To investigate these two pathways to analogical\ntransfer, participants were assigned to different study\nconditions: 1) standard comparison of two analogs; 2)\nstandard comparison followed by a second comparison of two\nnew analogs; or 3) a guided category-building task based on\nsequential summarization. Category-building showed a\nreliably higher rate of spontaneous transfer during an\nanalogical problem solving task than standard comparison\n(numerically higher than double-comparison). Another\nexperiment measured spontaneous remindings to cues on the\nbasis of matching structure. Category-building showed a\nreliable advantage over both comparison conditions. This\nsupports categorization as a novel pathway to spontaneous\ntransfer by enhancing retrieval of structurally similar\ninformation.",
