A central goal of education is for students to transfer what they learn to new contexts or problems. Indeed, expert reasoning is often characterised by seeing the deep structural commonalities across seemingly disparate situations. However, the knowledge students acquire is notoriously inert, tied to the specifics of the learning examples. This project aims to move towards solving 'the inert knowledge problem' by investigating how humans learn concepts defined by abstract relational structure, and by designing educational applications that enhance the use of relational learning mechanisms in students with a wide range of cognitive abilities.

教育的一个中心目标是让学生将他们所学的知识转移到新的环境或问题中。事实上，专家推理的特点往往是在看似不同的情况下看到深层的结构共性。然而，众所周知，学生获得的知识是惰性的，与学习示例的具体内容有关。该项目旨在通过调查人类如何学习由抽象关系结构定义的概念，并通过设计教育应用程序，增强具有广泛认知能力的学生对关系学习机制的使用，来解决“惰性知识问题”。
