On the Subjective Representation of Statistical Problems.
Montgomery, Henry; Allwood, Carl Martin
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, V22 n3 p107-27 1978

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.
