Peer reviewedMontgomery, Henry; Allwood, Carl Martin – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1978
Think aloud data were gathered from 19 subjects solving three statistical problems. Good problem solvers differed from poor in that they (1) more often clarified essential concepts related to the problem, or (2) appeared to attend more closely to what was actually asked for in the problem.

Peer reviewedAllwood, Carl Martin – Cognitive Science: A Multidisciplinary Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Psychology and Language, 1984
Describes a study which analyzed problem solvers' error detection processes by instructing subjects to think aloud when solving statistical problems. Effects of evaluative episodes on error detection, detection of different error types, error detection processes per se, and relationship of error detection behavior to problem-solving proficiency…
