The Identification and Decomposition of Hierarchical Tasks

Cotton, John W.; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, 14, 3, 189-212, Sum 77

The definition of hierarchical structure is reviewed, together with psychometric and experimental evidence regarding the existence of specific structures. A mathematical model including hierarchical and nonhierarchical options for a two component task is presented, along with an experimental design appropriate for testing the model and related hypotheses for transfer of training.
