Abstract
Two clarifications of Gagné's model of learning hierarchies are discussed. The first is the distinction between the strong hypothesis that there are essential prerequisites in learning and the weak hypothesis that there are helpful precursors in learning; the second is the division of subject matter into general intellectual skills and individual specific facts termed verbalized knowledge. Evidence is presented supporting the strong hypothesis for intellectual skills only.Keywords
