N2 - In the domain of electrical circuits troubleshooting, a full factorial experiment investigated the
hypotheses that a) studying worked examples would lead to better transfer performance than
solving conventional problems, with less investment of time and mental effort during training
and test, and b) adding process information to worked examples would increase investment of
effort during training and enhance transfer performance; whereas adding it to conventional
problems would increase investment of effort, but would not positively affect transfer
performance. The first hypothesis was largely confirmed by the data; the second was not: adding
process information indeed resulted in increased investment of effort during training, but not in
higher transfer performance in combination with worked examples.
