Knowledge and Understanding in Human Learning

Knowledge and Understanding in Human Learning (KUL) is an umbrella term for aloosely connected set of activities lead by Stellan OhIsson at the Learning Researchand Development Center, University of Pittsburgh. The aim of KUL is to clarify therole of world knowledge in human thinking, reasoning, and problem solving. Worldknowledge consists of concepts and principles, and contrasts with facts (episodicknowledge) and with cognitive skills (procedural knowledge). The long term goal is toanswer six questions: How can the concepts and principles of particular domains beidentified? How are concepts and principles acquired? How can the acquisition ofconcepts and principles be assessed? How are concepts and principles encoded in themind? How are concepts and principles utilized in performance and learning? Howcan instruction facilitate the acquisition and utilization of concepts and principles (asopposed to episodic or procedural knowledge)? Different methodologies are used toinvestigate these questions: Psychological experiments, protocol studies, computersimulations, historical studies, semantic, logical, and mathematical analyses,instructional ntervention studies, and so on. A list of KUL reports appear at the backof this report.

Abstract

Restructuring consists of a change in the representation of the current searchstate, a process which breaks an impasse during problem solving by opening up newsearch paths. A corpus of 52 think-aloud protocols from the domain of geometry wasscanned for evidence of restructuring. The data suggest that restructuring isaccomplished by re-parsing the geometric diagram.

Introduction

A wide variety of problem solving processes have been analyzed in terms ofheuristic search (Newell & Simon, 1972). For example, in geometry proofs thegeometric theorems (operators) are applied to the mental representation of thediagram (the knowledge state) until the desired proposition (the goal state) has beenattained (Anderson, 1981). The stepwise character of heuristic search contrasts withthe Gestalt hypothesis that problem solving proceeds through (a) an initial,unsuccessful, attack on the problem, (b) a more or less protracted impasse, and (c) arestructuring of the problem, which is typically, but not necessarily, followed byinsight (Ohlsson, 1984a).

Several attempts have been made to reconcile the information processing andGestalt hypotheses. Simon (1966) proposed that it helps to sleep on a problem,because goal tree information is forgotten faster than problem information. After apause, a new goal tree is built on the basis of more knowledge about the problem.Langley and Jones (1988) interpret an impasse as a failure to retrieve the relevantproblem solving operator. Insight occurs when some external stimulus causes enoughactivation to spread to that operator to allow its retrieval. A related hypothesisclaims that insight occurs when an appropriate analogy is retrieved (Keane, 1988).Both the differential rate of forgetting hypothesis and the spread of activationhypothesis require that the problem solver moves attention away from the problem,and so cannot explain insight during ongoing problem solving. Greeno and Berger(1987) have proposed that insights occur when a problem solver breaks an impasse byconstructing new functional knowledge, i. e., new problem solving operators. A newoperator is constructed by inferring that an object can fulfill a particular function, e.g., that a screwdriver can be used to complete an electric circuit. This follows from thefact that the screwdriver is made of metal, in conjunction with the general principlethat metallic objects conduct electricity. Several researchers have proposed thatproblem representations can be improved by the construction of macro-operators(Amarel, 1968; Korf, 1985). Koedinger and Anderson (in press) have proposed therelated idea that geometry experts combine geometric theorems into larger inferenceschemas, called diagram configuration schemas, which allow them to find a proofwithout step-by-step search of the proof space. The macro-operator and diagramconfiguration hypotheses explain expert performance, but they do not explaininsights by novices. All of these hypotheses locate restructuring in the processes ofproblem solving.

In contrast, I have proposed that restructuring involves a change in the mentalrepresentation of the current search state ,(Ohlsson, 1984b). A change in therepresentation implies that objects, relations, and properties which initially are seenas instances of certain concepts are being re-encoded as instances of other concepts.

Results

The protocols were scanned for the occurrence of restructuring events. Ten suchevents were found. The three most informative events will be analyzed below. They

illustrate deliberate restructuring, goal driven restructuring, and restructuring in

response to a hint.

Case 1: Deliberate restructuring. Subject S3 was given the problem in Figure 1

after she had studied Theorems 1-5 (see Table 1). She began by proving that trianglesAED and BEC are congruent, and then entered an impasse. In fragments F65-F67

(see Table 2) she deliberately sets out to see the problem from many viewpoints. The

process of restructuring proceeds through three steps. First, she mentally cuts the

figure along the diagonal CA, forming the triangles CDA and CBA (F68-F70). She

then mentally cuts the figure along the other diagonal, forming the triangles DCB

and DBA (F71-F74). Finally, she keeps one triangle from each pair, as it were, and

sets herself the task of proving them congruent (F75-F77). Figure 2 gives a

diagrammatic analysis of the process. The geometric objects perceived by the subject

are drawn in bold lines, while the rest of the diagram is drawn in broken lines.

Restructuring was not followed by insight in this case. The subject worked on theproblem for twelve minutes without solving it.

Ohlsson 8 Restructuring in Geometry

Case 2: Goal-driven restructuring. S1 was given the problem in Figure 1 as hisfirst problem after studying Theorems 1-5 (see Table 1). S1 misunderstood the goal ofthe problem to be to prove that angle ADC is congruent to angle BCD. When theprotocol excerpt in Table 3 begins, he has proved that angles EDA and ECB arecongruent by proving them corresponding parts of the congruent triangles EDA andECB. He then sets himself the goal of proving that the remaining parts, i. e., anglesEDC and ECD, are equal (F43). His plan is to prove that they are equal by provingthat the sides of the triangle EDC are equal (F42-F45).

Table 3. Protocol excerpt from Subject S1.

F42. yes now I am thinking about whether one can prove that these two sides [DE,EC] are equally longF43. because if they are then those two angles [EDC, ECD] which are just theremaining parts of those angles which I want to get [ADE, BCD] must be equally longF44. so then this and that angle [ADE, BCD] must be equally bigF45. and then the problem is solvedF46. so it is now a question of proving that it is isoscelesF47. that triangle [EDC]F48. and that I cannotF49. but perhaps one can do it in some other way(What are you thinking?)F50. well now I am thinkingF51. well it is the same problemF52. but from another angleF53. yes if this oneF54. is those two lines [ED, EC) are equally longF55. I am thinkingF56. yes but they must beF57. since they are parts ofF58. it is congruentF59. these two here are congruent [triangles EDA, ECB]F60. and it is [ED, EC] corresponding sides in the triangles [EDA, ECBIF61. therefore these two sides [ED, ECI are equally long

This goal is reformulated as proving that the triangle EDC is isosceles (F46-F47).This view of the problem leads to an impasse (F48-F49). Prompted by theexperimenter to continue to think-aloud, he states that he is thinking about the same

problem but from another angle (F50-F52): he has re-encoded ED and EC as lines(F54). The goal is still to prove them congruent (F53-F55). He suddenly realizes that

ED and EC are corresponding sides of the two triangles EDA and ECB, which he has

already proved congruent (F56-F61). Figure 3 shows a diagrammatic analysis of the

process with perceived geometric objects in bold lines and the rest of the diagram--the

background--in broken lines. The subject quickly completed the correct solution.

Case 3: Hint-driven restructuring. S2 attempted Problem 2 (see Figure 4) afterhaving learned the five theorems in Table 1, plus four others. She decided to prove

triangles AED and BEG congruent and quickly reached an impasse. The protocol

excerpt in Table 4 begins

when the experimenter gives her the hint that there are other pairs of triangles in thefigure that might be congruent. She first rejects this suggestion (F113-F115). Shethen runs through the triangles in the figure (F113-F121), and concludes that thereare no other congruent triangles in the figure (F121). She then suddenly sees thetriangles AEG and BDA (F123-F124). Figure 5 shows a diagrammatic analysis of theprocess with perceived geometric objects drawn in bold lines and the rest of thediagram drawn in broken lines. In spite of this restructuring, the subject failed tosolve the problem.

Discussion

The restructuring process revealed in these three protocol excerpts consists inre-encoding the given figure. The diagram--the set of lines on the paper--containswithin it a large number of different geometric objects (angles, sides, triangles, etc.).Only some of those geometric objects are perceived at any one time. The others recedeinto the background. In particular, if a line configuration is perceived in one way,then alternative encodings of that same line configuration recede into thebackground. Restructuring consists of switching to one of the alternative encodings.How does the switching mechanism work? The data suggest that re-encoding is doneby re-parsing the diagram. During initial problem perception complex objects (e. g.,triangles) are constructed out of simpler objects (e. g., lines). This process is a searchthrough a description space (OhIsson, 1984b). Alternative interpretations of theperceptual information are possible, so some choices are made, resulting in aparticular encoding of the given diagram. When an impasse forces the problem solverto re-encode the problem, he/she backs up in the description space, dismantles his/herprevious encoding, and traverses another path through the description space. Thisprocess breaks an impasse by allowing other operators (geometric theorems) to applyto the current state. Restructuring is a rare event: There was approximately onerestructuring event per hour of problem solving effort in the present study.Restructuring does not necessarily lead to insight: In two of the three excerptspresented above, the subject failed to solve the problem. This study supports the ideathat diagram parsing is central in geometry (Koedinger & Anderson, in press), butthe validity of the re-parsing mechanism for other domains than geometry remainsan open question. For example, a different mechanism seems to be responsible forre-encoding of the Mutilated Checker Board Problem (Kaplan & Simon, in press).
