人们常常难以理解生物变化的过程，并且他们通常排斥诸如变态这样剧烈的生命周期变化，除了他们熟悉的动物之外。即使上完一堂关于变态的课，人们往往也不会将所学知识推广到课堂上未见到的动物。这可能部分是由于在变态课程中通常使用的图表过于丰富的感知细节所致，这些细节强调的是单个动物而非一类动物。在两项研究中，我们检验了图表的感知丰富度是否会影响成年人对变态知识的学习和迁移。一项研究是在实验室环境中进行的，另一项是在线进行的。在这两项研究中，在课堂上看到平淡图表的成年人比看到丰富图表的成年人更能准确地进行知识迁移。
People often have difficulty in understanding processes of biological change, and they typically reject drastic life cycle changes such as metamorphosis, except for animals with which they are familiar. Even after a lesson about metamorphosis, people often do not generalize to animals not seen during the lesson. This might be partially due to the perceptual richness of the diagrams typically used during lessons on metamorphosis, which serves to emphasize the individual animal rather than a class of animals. In two studies, we examined whether the perceptual richness of a diagram influences adults' learning and transfer of knowledge about metamorphosis. One study was conducted in a laboratory setting, and the other was online. In both studies, adults who saw the bland diagram during the lesson accurately transferred more than adults who saw the rich diagram during the lesson.
