Generating the angular velocities of planetary and annular gears: When self-generating explanations helps learning

Can you explain how a car differential works? If not, then to learn how differentials work you may want to generate an explanation from a picture and a description. Self-generating explanations is known to boost people's learning. Recent research has identified the particular constraints when this self-generation advantage holds.
