Abstract

Two experiments were designed to explore the nature of transfer in complex learning tasks and to investigate the role of stimuli and responses in these problems. Specific S-R combinations were manipulated in multiple-sign and transposition problems, using children as Ss. There were 5 experimental conditions in the first experiment and 12 in the second. Although positive transfer was obtained with certain experimental treatments, there was no significant occurrence of negative transfer. Osgood's transfer surface was considered as interpretation of the transfer data.
