Abstract
Ed schema will have fewer idiosyncratic details and there - fore will conflict less with the surface features of the current case Thus, when solving problems in new contexts, people should be able to recall and apply schemas derived through analogical en - coding better than prior individual examples (Catrambone & Holyoak, 1989; Reeves & Weisberg, 1994; Ross & Kennedy, 1990) In short, analogical encoding promotes the abstraction of schemas, which in turn promotes recall and transfer A further advantage of analogical encoding is that it does not require a prior well - learned situation; it can potentially be beneficial even for people who lack deep knowledge of the domain (Gentner & Medina, 199Keywords
