The Theory of Learning by Doing.
Anzai, Yuichiro; Simon, Herbert A.
Psychological Review, v86 n2 p124-40 Mar 1979
A theory is proposed of the processes which enable a subject to learn while solving a problem. One subject's protocol--including 224 steps and taking 90 minutes--is described. Adequacy of the mechanisms is guaranteed by a computer simulation of the processes in an adaptive production system. (Author/GDC)
