{"pk":31418,"title":"Learning and Problem Solving Under a Memory Load","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A problem solving experiment is described where the difficulty Ss experienced in solving a panicular puzzle is manipulated using a dual task paradigm. Although Ss show impaired performance solving the puzzle the first time, performance improves considerably on a second trial and Ss are not impaired by a second trial memory load. In spite of the improvement in performance, Ss are unable to report virtually any information about the problem or their solution strategies. A model is presented that describes the pattern of performance across the levels of memory load and across the two trials. The theoretical implications of this model are discussed.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5fb552wf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Reber","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kenneth","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kotovsky","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1992-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31418/galley/22487/download/"}]}
