Algebra Mal-Rules and Cognitive Accounts of Error

On page 457, Table 7 entitled “Distribution of Mal-Rules Across Question Types” contained two misrepresented symbols within the table. Thus, in the line adjacent to number 4, under the table column heads Ml2 and M13, the plus symbols after the number 2 digits should have been superscript swords. The footnote to this table was also in error due to an asterisk which should have been a superscript sword. The complete and corrected table is reprinted on p. 642.
