Absolute and Relative Bidirectional Transfer in Verbal Conflict Resolution Tasks

&
Pages 113-119 | Received 11 Jul 1974, Published online: 02 Jul 2010
 

Summary

One group of Ss resolved 10 double approach-avoidance (DAP-AV) verbal conflicts followed by 10 approach-approach (AP-AP) conflicts, and another group transferred from AP-AP to DAP-AV. Two additional groups, which resolved 20 conflicts of the same type (AP-AP or DAP-AV), were used in assessing relative transfer effects. Results indicated longer resolution times associated with DAP-AV conflicts (p < .05), but no absolute or relative transfer in either direction. Failure to demonstrate transfer effects may have resulted from interference in the production of a response set or from the failure of a specific response set to generalize to a new task.
