Learning from Performance Errors.

Ohlsson, Stellan

Psychological Review, v103 n2 p241-62 Apr 1996

A theory of how people detect and correct their own performance errors during skill practice is proposed. Blame assignment, error attribution, and knowledge revision are identified as three cognitive functions in explaining error correction. The theory is embodied in a computer model that learns cognitive skills in ecologically valid domains. (SLD)
