This study examined the extent to which for 2 classes (ns = 72, 68) there would be positive transfer from instruction in introductory psychology to a reading task involving related psychological materials. Positive transfer occurred primarily for students with lower midterm exam scores. Transfer to the reading task was mainly restricted to materials of a non-advanced level of difficulty.
