Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Analogical transfer refers to the ability to transfer experience from one problem solving situation to a similar problem. Analogical encoding involves encoding information by its similarity to previously encountered information. Insight refers to sudden realization or understanding of a problem's solution. In vivo problem solving refers to solving a problem in the real world, as opposed to in a laboratory setting. None of these options accurately describe the ability to transfer experience between similar problem solving situations.
