Abstract(in English) This paper investigated some effects of verbalization on acquiring an abstract and flexible problem representation. Subjects were either required to think-aloud or to keep silent while solving the five-disk Tower of Hanoi problem four consecutive times. On a transfer task of the eight-disk Tower of Hanoi problem, subjects who had verbalized during the five-disk trials showed a stronger tendency to flexibly apply their abstracted understanding of the recursive structure of the problem. Protocol analyses revealed that the explanatory verbalization laid out the necessary meta-cognitive context for such representation changes.
