A form of noise that can be dealt with by statistical methods. REPAIR theory can even predict classes of bugs within which migration is likely to be observed.  1, record 14, English, - bug%20migration

Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 CONT

REPAIR theory predicted several unobserved bugs which were subsequently observed. Furthermore it correctly predicted a phenomenon that it was not originally meant to explain, but that was later observed as quite common :(bug migration.) Apparently, bugs exhibited by one student sometimes vary between tests and even in the same test. The theory actually suggests that students, who do not usually seem to retain in long-term memory the local patches they perform, may well apply different repairs when presented with the same impasse. The data confirmed that migration takes place inside of classes of bugs caused by the same impasses. Therefore, although bugs are not always stable, they can nevertheless be accounted for in a systematic way.  1, record 14, English, - bug%20migration

The mechanism used by Brown and VanLehn for simplifying or distorting a procedure represented as a GAO graph is that of deleting rules : the deletion principle. The absence of one rule causes the interpreter to fire another one instead-usually, but not always, leading to an impasse. If no impasse is reached, the bug generated is a repairless one, and is equivalent to the type generated in models based on syntactic manipulations. If an impasse is reached, the stage is set for a repair.  1, record 16, English, - deletion%20principle

Overspecificity can create impasses by making matches impossible : the learner is biased to find the maximally specific conditions when retrieving an object. An example of overspecificity is a student who thinks that one must borrow from a column that is both adjacent to the current one and the leftmost because all examples so far were two-column problems. If borrowing is required when there is more than one column left to do, an impasse is generated.  1, record 17, English, - overspecificity
