Far generalization of visual analogies strategies by impulsive and reflective EMR students.
Cognitive style and its interaction with training effects in promoting the acquisition and far generalization of a visual analogies strategy by 22 male and 17 female EMR pupils was evaluated. Training was effective in producing acquisition and far generalization; cognitive style was not. We suggested that the lack of interaction between cognitive style and training was due to the fact that the training program modified the subjects' cognitive style, i.e., impulsives tended to perform more like reflectives.
