摘要:AbstractTwo experiments were designed to find out effectiveness of dynamic visuals (videos) in analogical transfer when solving social interaction problems. In experiment 1, 70 subjects read a story (source analogue) and solved a social interaction problem under two conditions (with and without cues to the source analogue). In experiment 2, 70 subjects watched a video and solved a social interaction problem under the conditions of with and without cue to the video source analogue. These experiments provided findings that the use of dynamic visual representation in analogical transfer learning fostered accessibility to both surface and relational similarities, and enabled abstraction of problem schema for effective mapping of schema to solve new target problem. The improved quality of the induced schema brought about by videos is highly predictive of transfer performance.
