Abstract
Problem solving, thinking, and other forms of mental activity can be dichotomized into two aspects. One is the content of the information that is being considered. The other is the organization of the process that is treating the information. The obvious examples of this dichotomy come from arithmetic. Once the rules of addition are known, any two numbers can be added. Addition is the process involved; the specific numbers being added at any one time are the content. When we learn arithmetic or any other type of mathematics we are learning a process. When we use arithmetic to solve a problem, we apply content to that process.
