Replacement and Component Rules in Hierarchically Ordered Mathematics Rule Learning Tasks.
Bergan, John R.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n1 p39-50 Feb 1982

Latent class techniques revealed that children applied rules that were adequate for simple problems but had to be replaced to solve more complex problems. (Author/GK)
