Suppose that a student learns a mathematical procedure such as how to find the area of a parallelogram. Later‚ when the student is given a parallelogram problem like the one he or she has studied‚ he or she is able to find its area correctly. In short‚ the student shows that she can perform well on a retention test. However‚ when this student is asked to find the area of an unusually shaped parallelogram‚ he or she looks confused and answers "We haven’t had this yet". In short‚ the student shows

The success rate was over 70%. In Nigeria‚ where electric submersible pumps were fitted to completed boreholes‚ the required abstraction was 1 l/s. The success rate here was less than 45%.

What they are doing is to freely interact with the situation presented to them. In trying to solve a puzzle‚ most people will randomly try this and that and the other until some form of regularity in the situation begins to emerge‚ after which a more systematic problem solving
