Abstract
How examples affect analogical problem solving was detected in this study. There was an example that subjects must learn first and a new problem for subjects to solve in Experiment 1. The result indicated that if deep structure or the principle of the new problem was consistent with the former example, similar components were easily transferred in spite of the existence of superficial differences. On the contrary, negative transfer took place between a new problem and the former example when they had no consistent structure similarity. Under the circumstances of suggestion in Experiment 2, analogical problem solving was more influential than that of Experiment 1 because suggestion was in fact a reminder.
