Individual Differences in Transfer Mediated by Conceptual Priming
نویسنده
چکیده
Research in analogical transfer suggests a simple type of transfer that occurs due to the activation of key relational concepts. Analysis on mental structured representations indicates that this transfer may act differently depending upon structural and perceptual features of the priming task. Two hundred eight participants were assigned to three experimental groups where they received a structure-priming, tested once and afterwards they received a perceptual-priming and tested again. As predicted, the effect of structure-priming was found across conditions whereas the effect of perceptualpriming (a six-second animation) was detected only in subjects with high levels of cognitive reflectiveness. These individual differences are interpreted as evidence that only highly reflective subjects were able to process visuospatial cues in the animation and to extract their structural features, hence activating relational concepts that influenced their interpretations of subsequent tasks.

The author investigated the importance of processing considerations within implicit memory in a developmental design. Second-graders (n = 87) and college students (n = 81) completed perceptual (word stem completion) and conceptual (category generation) implicit memory tests after studying target items either nonsemantically (read) or semantically (generated). In support of previous research, th...

Priming Spatial Perspective
Spatial perspective choices have been shown to be sensitive to individual differences, mode of learning, and contextual factors. In two studies using a confederate priming paradigm, we investigated whether higher level conceptual priming at the level of spatial schemas can be found in speakers’ preference for route vs. survey perspective descriptions of how to get from one place to another. Per...
