Sumario:This article examines the research on learning hierarchy. The author attempted to teach seven children on how to find formulas for sums of terms in number series and suggested that this skill could not be acquired unless the learners possessed certain prerequisite skills. All the studies of learning hierarchy suffered from small sample size, imprecise specification of component elements, use of only one question per element and placing of tests at the end of the learning program or even the omission of instruction altogether according to the author.
