在一系列的四项研究中，对儿童将他们在一种情况下学到的东西转化为类似问题的能力进行了研究。受试者的年龄范围为3至10岁。这些问题涉及熟悉工具的新用途或简单的生物学主题，如模仿作为一种防御方法。数据表明，在以前的研究中，儿童表现出的明显的迁移不情愿是他们被要求学习的内容和学习条件的结果。在目前的研究中，如果问题领域是他们理解和参与的领域，那么3岁的儿童很容易迁移，如果传统的实验室范式被修改，以促进转移，而不仅仅是测试其自发发生。
Children''s ability to transfer what they learn in one situation to analogous problems was examined in a series of four studies. Subjects ranged in age from 3 to 10 years. The problems involved novel uses of familiar tools or simple biological themes such as mimicry as a method of defence. The data suggest that the apparent transfer reluctance shown by children in previous studies is the result of what they have been required to learn and the conditions under which they have been required to learn it. In in the present studies, children as young as 3 years transferred readily if the problem domain was one they understood and engaged in, and if the traditional laboratory paradigm was modified so as to promote transfer rather than just to test for its spontaneous occurrence.
