Effects of schema acquisition and rule automation on mathematical problem-solving transfer.

We carried out a series of experiments in which we used algebra transformation and algebra word problems to investigate relations between schema acquisition and rule automation on learning and transfer. We hypothesized that schema acquisition would precede rule automation and that it would have a st
