Primes¶
- Problem Space
- Problem space enables several complexity-management strategies, drawing on Larkin, McDermott, Simon, and Simon's (1980) finding that expert and novice performance differences are largely a function of how problems are represented rather than how hard the search is.
This sourceEmpirical study showing that expert physicists and novices differ primarily in problem representation—experts construct higher-abstraction states with richer operators—rather than in raw search ability.
