The potential for positive transfer is higher when two very different concepts have similar or identical labels is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

There are various ways in which the brain can be tricked into remembering complex and otherwise difficult information. When the brain is confronted with a need to remember two complex concepts with similar labels, it is the difference between the two concepts that allows the brain to store the information separately and still manage to recall it because of the unique trait of the similarity of labels. The brain remembers easily the facts that come associated with interesting side-traits and crucial differences. Hence, the potential for positive transfer in such cases is higher that usual.
