Individual Differences in Subgoal Acquisition

The Problem Solving and Educational Technology Laboratory has published extensively on the utility of optimizing educational materials by labeling worked example problems at the subgoal level as opposed to the step level. This project aims to identify psychological traits that predict one’s ability to glean widely applicable subgoals from suboptimal educational material.
