Abstract
In spite of the shift in behavioral science towards the study of cognition, theories of complex human behavior still tend to be highly restrictive. Piagetian structuralism provides a major alternative, but it fails to make contact with more specialized theories in artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and individual differences measurement. The structural learning theory helps to bridge this gap. In my paper I will discuss the interrelationships which exist among content, cognition, and individual differences and the constraints which these interrelationships impose on the form of any comprehensive theory of human problem-solving.
