Abstract
This study investigated two aspects of analogical transfer: first, whether transfer to a target domain can be facilitated by particular kinds of encoding of the base domain, and second, whether conscious reminding of the base domain is necessary for transfer to occur. Two experiments showed that transfer can be facilitated when only a single exemplar from the base domain is used if the exemplar is encoded in such a way that the underlying schema is represented. It was also shown that conscious reminding of the base domain is not a necessary condition for transfer, but when subjects are aware of the underlying schema while solving the target problem, transfer always occurs.
