Selection Strategies as Normative and Descriptive Models: Comments on Johnson's "The Validation of Concept-Learning Strategies."
Laughlin, Patrick R.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, v107 n3 p267-72 Sep 1978
In positively assessing Johnson (1978) (AA 529 124), this research proposes that the basic purpose of normative models of selection strategies is the development of continuous quantitative measures of problem-solving efficiency, while descriptive models determine degree of correspondence between formal normative models and actual behavior.
