Belcastro, Frank P. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1993

Taplin, Margaret – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1995
Interviewers asked (n=10) 6th- and (n=10) 10th-grade students to solve nonroutine number problems. Task analysis of perseverers, those students who continued after reaching "dead-ends," found that students who were ultimately successful were more inclined to be flexible in their strategies.
