Abstract

The present article compares domain-specific problem solving research with domain-independent problem-solving research which has been conducted under information processing approch to cognition. The domain-specific problem-solving research is examined in terms of its methodological characteristics, major results and proposed explanations about them, conflicting results and potential issues. In particular, its methodological problems are discussed in detail. It is suggested that since domain-specific problem-solving research is still at the descriptive stage in revealing the nature of expert information processing systems, the methodology of domain-independent problem-solving research should be utilized in this new resear area.
