Componential Modeling of Alternative Strategies for Performing Spatial Tasks.
Kyllonen, Patrick C.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1325-45 Dec 1984
Relations among aptitude, spatial task solution strategy, and task performance were explored through mathematical models of performance latency. Different models fit different subjects on each of three task steps (encoding, synthesis, and comparison), suggesting that different subjects used different strategies for solving the same items. Aptitude may affect strategy choice. (Author/ DWH)
