An Example of Negative Transfer: Luchins' Water Jar Experiment
Luchins and Luchins (1970) studied how prior experience can limit people's abilities to function efficiently in new settings. They used water jar problems where participants had three jars of varying sizes and an unlimited water supply and were asked to obtain a required amount of water. A synopsis, adapted from Luchins and Luchins (1970).
