摘要：The influence on children`s analogical problem solving of structural highlighting during encoding and retrieval of sources was studied with 379 9-year-old participants. Performance on the first 2 of 4 tests determined the analogical level of each child. For the remaining 2 tests,the child was assigned to 1 of 12 different structural highlighting conditions,including 4 encoding conditions (reading,line,self-line,and self-explain) and 3 retrieval conditions (reminding,cued,and thematic comparison). Results showed that retrieval conditions,not encoding conditions,improved the analogical ability of the child. Children initially low in analogical ability improved in cued retrieval conditions;children initially high in analogical ability improved both in thematically compared and in cued retrieval conditions. Practical implications of the results were discussed.
