# On the Operationality/Generality Trade-off in Explanation-based Learning

## Abstract

In this paper we examine the operationalitylgenerality trade-off and how it aft'ects performance of explanation-based learning systems. E:1perience with the ARMS learning apprentice system, presented in the form of an empirical performance analysis, illustrates both aides of the trade-off.
