Dochy, Filip J. R. C.; Alexander, Patricia A. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1995
Reviews the current literature concerning prior knowledge in an attempt to clarify problems with the terminology. Identifies the three main problems: lack of definition or vagueness, nominal versus real definitions, and different names/same constructs or same name/different constructs. Includes a conceptual map of prior knowledge terminology. (MJP)
