Two groups of participants are given sets of training problems to solve.One group of participants is told to try to understand the structure of each problem,while the other group is asked to try to memorize the problems.They are later given test problems.Based on previous evidence,what results would you expect to see at testing?

Previous evidence suggests that focusing on problem structure during training leads to better problem-solving performance and the use of analogies, while rote memorization does not necessarily improve problem solving. Therefore, we would expect the "structure" group to perform better and use analogies more often during testing. The other options are less likely based on previous evidence.
