Individual differences in solving physics problems
D.P. Simon, and H.A. Simon 1978 Children's Thinking: What develops? Hillsdale, N.J.: Lawrence Erlbaum

This chapter examines the nature of skill and expertise through the detailed analysis of a study that captures the processes an expert subject and a novice subject use to solve simple kinematics problems under think-aloud instructions. It describes explicit knowledge of physical laws that students must acquire and the way those laws must be indexed in memory in order to provide a basis for problem-solving skills in this domain.
