Abstract
Two experiments in a series of four experiments testing for the “transfer via injection” effect are reported. Only one of the experiments yielded positive results; however, the combined probability for the series of experiments using the same procedure is highly significant. It is suggested that both activation and specificity are involved in positive transfer effects.
