On costs of good intentions: The effect of problem contextualisation on knowledge acquisition (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Beckmann, J., & Goode, N. (2013, August). On costs of good intentions: The effect of problem contextualisation on knowledge acquisition. Presented at 15th Biennial Conference of the European Association for Learning and Instruction., Munich, Germany

In previous research it has been shown that a semantically familiar problem context can be detrimental to knowledge acquisition. The aim of this study was to test two competing explanations for this effect: goal adoption versus assumptions. Participa...
