ABSTRACT

Three experiments used a paradigm based on Retrieval-Induced Forgetting research to test for the competition from non-useful sources of information in cross-domain analogical transfer. This was accomplished by presenting people with texts introducing multiple candidate solutions prior to attempting the Radiation problem, and later testing memory for the texts. In Experiment 1, viable and unviable candidate solutions that varied in surface and structural similarity were presented in their own story contexts. In Experiments 2 and 3, the viable and unviable solutions were embedded within the same story context. The results suggest that forgetting unviable solutions that share surface-level overlap with the target problem may be less important than suggested by prior work. Instead, greater evidence of forgetting was obtained when unviable solutions were embedded within the same context as viable solutions. These findings suggest that competition from superficially similar, unviable solutions may not be the main obstacle during analogical problem-solving attempts, but rather the main obstacle for transfer may be the selection of relevant solution concepts.

由于类比解决问题的尝试而忘记了竞争解决方案

摘要

三个实验使用基于检索诱导遗忘研究的范式来测试跨域类比传输中来自无用信息源的竞争。这是通过在尝试辐射问题之前向人们展示介绍多个候选解决方案的文本,然后测试文本的记忆力来实现的。在实验 1 中,表面和结构相似性不同的可行和不可行的候选解决方案在它们自己的故事上下文中呈现。在实验 2 和 3 中,可行和不可行的解决方案嵌入在相同的故事背景中。结果表明,忘记与目标问题共享表面级重叠的不可行解决方案可能不如先前工作所建议的那么重要。反而,当不可行的解决方案与可行的解决方案嵌入在相同的上下文中时,可以获得更多的遗忘证据。这些发现表明,在类比解决问题的尝试中,来自表面相似、不可行的解决方案的竞争可能不是主要障碍,而转移的主要障碍可能是相关解决方案概念的选择。
