{"pk":33212,"title":"Generalization by Studying Examples Versus Generalization by Applying Examples to Problems","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Two views of problem solving procedure generalization are compared in an experiment: the Generalization by Applying Examples (GenApp) and Generalization by Studying Examples (GenStudy) views. The results suggest that learners can acquire a sufficiently general approach for solving novel problems by studying appropriately-designed examples that encourage one to form subgoals to represent a solution procedure. Learners who are led to form a more rote procedure show much less transfer. No evidence was found for generalization through application.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/59g2t00s","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Richard","middle_name":"","last_name":"Catrambone","name_suffix":"","institution":"School of Psychology; Georgia Institute of Technology","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1998-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33212/galley/24272/download/"}]}
