Prerequisites, Not Ability
Captions available
The idea
The behavioral view traces learning failures to missing prerequisites or poor instruction rather than to a lack of ability.
In practice
A student failing algebra turns out to lack fluency with fractions.
Where people slip
Prerequisites must become automatic, not merely familiar, before they support new learning and transfer well.
