- | Structural learning theory suggests that structures (problems) that a learner must learn, need to be formed as rules. Those rules can be simplified into **lower-order rules** (//atomic components//) which represent most basic concepts learner needs to know when dealing with a problem from given domain. By combining these atomic components and application of more complicated to lower order rules new **higher-order rules** are derived. Higher-order rules can be used to solve complex problems in the whole domain. | + | Structural learning theory suggests that structures (problems) that a learner must learn, need to be formed as rules.
