The purpose of this study is to apply the attribute hierarchy method (AHM) to a sample of SAT algebra items administered in March 2005. The AHM is a psychometric method for classifying examinees' test item responses into a set of structured attribute patterns associated with different components from a cognitive model of task performance. An…

Hohly, Richard – 1983
This paper discusses some means by which one might answer the question of "What makes problem solving hard?" In order to facilitate the investigations required to answer this question, a model of problem solving is needed. From some simulated solutions to a physics problem, several problem solving processes used by students are…

A. M. Gentile's four-step, cognitive process approach to skill acquisition is proposed as preferable for learning movement skills, when compared to the traditional behavioral approach. Five positive outcomes of the cognitive approach are identified, focusing on opportunities for students to engage in skill analysis and creative problem solving.…

McAllister, Alan – 1993
This study developed representations of the LOGO programming process which provide the basis for strategy analyses and a new perspective on problem solving in complex, semantically rich task environments such as LOGO. Nine students, ages 10 to 14, who had been identified as gifted and had previous programming experience, were trained in the…

Research activities underway as part of the Air Force's Learning Abilities Measurement Program (LAMP) are described. A major objective of the program is to devise new models of the nature and organization of human abilities, that could be applied to improve personnel selection and classification systems. The activities of the project have been…
