Abstract: Most tasks can be pursued by using different strategies (Logan, 1985;Reder & Schunn, 1998).In this paper we focus on strategies of learning from worked-out examples.Within a resource-oriented framework these different strategies can be classified according to their costs and benefits.These features may determine which strategy will be selected for accomplishing a task in situations with certain resource limitations.We investigate specific hypotheses about strategic adaptations to resource limitations (e.g., time pressure or lack of prior knowledge) within a hypertext-based learning environment.A comparison of the strategy selection of good and poor learners is used to assess the degree of subjects' resource adaptivity.Ideas for modeling resource-adaptive selection of strategies within the ACT-R architecture are discussed.
