Acquisition of a problem-solving skill : levels of organization and use of working memory

The authors examined the acquisition of a problem-solving skill at three levels of organization (strategy, subgoal, and operator) and investigated changes in temporary storage, manipulation of information, and coordination of multiple representations.
