Abstract
Little research has been done on the information processing of technology transfer in developing countries (Gonod, 1981). This paper discusses information processing, using the well-researched area of English as a Second Language (ESL) reading and schema theory. In particular, it describes a reading study with Egyptian students who read 4 pairs of matched readings, 4 Egyptian and 4 American readings. Students recalled (i.e. learned) significantly more from the Egyptian readings. The implications of these results to the transfer of technology are discussed.
