**Abstract:**
In this paper we shall review the common problems associated with Piecewise Linear Separation incremental algorithms. This kind of neural models yield poor performances when dealing with some classification problems, due to the evolving schemes used to construct the resulting networks. So as to avoid this undesirable behavior we shall propose a modification criterion. It is based upon the definition of a function which will provide information about the quality of the network growth process during the learning phase. This function is evaluated periodically as the network structure evolves, and will permit, as we shall show through exhaustive benchmarks, to considerably improve the performance(measured in terms of network complexity and generalization capabilities) offered by the networks generated by these incremental models.
