  10.     According to Newell and Simon (1972), problem solving is a process
  11. of searching through the problem space.  It seems to involve the linear
  12. search within the working memory and the association with the LTM.  Prietula
  13. and Simon (1989, p. 122) seem to suggest that after a first approximation of
  14. solution is found in LTM through association, then the solution is refined
  15. through linear search again, "combing" through possible solutions.
  16.     Would somebody comment on my interpretation, please?  I am just
  17. not certain if it is correct.  Thanks.
