However, people are capable of mastering a given task through qualitatively different learning paths such as learning by instruction and learning by doing. We hypothesize that the knowledge acquired through such alternative paths differs with respect to the level of abstraction and the balance between declarative and procedural knowledge. In a laboratory experiment we investigated what was learned about patterned letter sequences via either direct instruction in the relevant patterns or practice in solving letter\u2010sequence extrapolation problems. Results showed that both types of learning led to mastery of the target task as measured by accuracy performance. However, behavioral differences emerged in how participants applied their knowledge. Participants given instruction showed more variability in the types of strategies they used to articulate their knowledge as well as longer solution times for generating the action implications of that knowledge as compared to the participants given practice. Results are discussed regarding the implications for transfer, generalization, and procedural application. Learning theories that claim generality should be tested against cross\u2010scenario phenomena, not just parametric variations of a single learning scenario.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1207\/s15516709cog0000_32","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,22]],"date-time":"2005-09-22T13:55:43Z","timestamp":1127397343000},"page":"769-796","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Comparing Multiple Paths to Mastery: What is Learned?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Timothy J.","family":"Nokes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stellan","family":"Ohlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0096-3445.120.1.3"},{"volume-title":"Language, memory, and thought","year":"1976","author":"Anderson J.
