Parameter learning problem

[Lynne M Reder]

Chris Schunn mentioned a couple of papers that argue that familiarity
plays a role in selecting between retrieval and computation.  Although
I've
been arguing for the role of familiarity and prior history of success as
determinants of strategy choice for a very long time, John has yet to
totally
agree with that view.  So  I thought I~d give the full citations to the ones
Chris mentioned and also add a few others :-)  in case you are interested:
