	According to Newell and Simon (1972), problem solving is a process
of searching through the problem space.  It seems to involve the linear
search within the working memory and the association with the LTM.  Prietula
and Simon (1989, p. 122) seem to suggest that after a first approximation of
solution is found in LTM through association, then the solution is refined
through linear search again, "combing" through possible solutions.
	Would somebody comment on my interpretation, please?  I am just
not certain if it is correct.  Thanks.
