    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In earlier work, we presented results from an empirical\nstudy that examined subjects' learning and browsing\nstrategies as they explained instructional materials to\nthemselves that were contained in a hypertext-based in-\nstructional environment. W e developed a Soar model\nthat, through parameter manipulation, simulated the\nstrategies of each individual subject in the study. In\nthis paper, w e explore the parameters of these simula-\ntions and contribute several new results. First, we show\nthat a relatively small proportion of strategies captured\na large percentage of subjects' interaction behaviors,\nsuggesting that subjects' approach to the learning task\nshared some underlying strategic commonalities. Sec-\nond, w e show that lower performing subjects employed\na high proportion of working memory intensive strate-\ngies, which m a y have partially accounted for their in-\nferior performance. Third, clusters of subjects identi-\nfied through parameters analyses continued to exhibit\nsimilar behaviors during subsequent problem solving,\nsuggesting that the clusters corresponded to genuine\nstrategy classes. Furthermore, these clusters appeju-ed\nto represent general learning and browsing strategies\nthat were, in some sense, adaptive to the task.",
