- The near-vs-far transfer gradient distinguishes surface-similarity transfer (high transfer in similar contexts) from structural-mapping transfer (possible across dissimilar contexts when deep features align).

Backs the surface-vs-structural similarity distinction in analogical transfer, with structural features weighted more heavily, but says nothing about Barnett and Ceci's 2002 nine-dimension taxonomy of transfer distance.
“The results of Experiment 2 indicated that both structural features, which play a causal role in determining possible problem solutions, and salient surface features, which do not have a causal role, influence spontaneous selection of an analogue. Structural features, however, have a greater impact than do surface features on a problem solver’s ability to use an analogue once its relevance has been pointed out.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
