1980 (Gick & Holyoak) 10% Solved the Problem 30% Solved with the Reminder 75% Solved with a Hint Hint: In solving problem, you may find that one of the stories you’ve read before will give you a hint.

1987 (Beveridge & Parkins) Subjects were told to summarize Diagrams were used. A general principle was provided Principle:�If you need a large force to accomplish some purpose, but are prevented from applying such a force directly, many smaller forces applied simultaneously from different directions may work just as well.

At this point you’re thinking, surely the

stats got better.

But they didn’t.

Only when people were challenged to

summarize several stories were they able

to turn them into applicable lessons.

We think concretely.

To transfer lessons, �we need to think

abstractly.

We don’t do that much.

This is why we don’t often apply known

solutions.

This is why we ignore best practices.

This is why you should share everything you know

with everyone you know
