Two groups of participants are given sets of training problems to solve. One group of participants is told to try to understand
the structure of each problem, while the other group is asked to try to memorize the problems. They are later given test problems. Based on previous evidence, what results would you expect to see at testing?
Of the two groups, the structure group is going to solve the test problems in a better way since this group is asked to study the problem in structural form. This approach will allow the group to investigate the problem systematically and in an organized way. The group that is tasked to memorize the problem will only remember the problems, and by memorizing alone will not help the group to find out the solution.
