Thinking about Knowledge Learned from Instruction and Experience: Two Tests of a Connectionist Model.

Britton, Bruce K.; Sorrells, Robert C.

Discourse Processes, v25 n2-3 p131-77 1998

Tests and confirms two hypotheses about the representation of knowledge in memory: that a person's mental representation of a newly learned body of knowledge has two parts (the information presented, and a product of the person's thinking about it); and that a body of knowledge learned from experience is organized into distinct sub-representations.
