    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "There is little doubt that examples play a major\nrole in acquiring a n e w skill. H o w examples improve\nlearning, however, is subject to some debate. Re-\ncently, two different classes of theories have been pro-\nposed to explain w h y examples are such an effective\nmanner of learning. Example Generalization m o d -\nels suggest that problem solving rules are acquired\nwhile studying examples. Knowledge Compilation\nmodels, on the other hand, suggest that examples\nare useful because they guide future problem solv-\ning, where the necessary rules are created. Consis-\ntent with knowledge compilation models, w e found\nthat separating target problems from source exam-\nples hindered learning because the source exeimples\ncould not be remembered to guide problem solving.\nW e also found that if sources are not accessible or re-\nm e m b e r e d during problem solving, learning occurs\nbest w h e n the sources are problems to be solved,\nrather than examples. Taken together, these results\nprovide strong support for the knowledge compilation\nview: in order for an example to be most effective,\nthe knowledge gained from the example must be ap-\nplied to solving a new problem.",
