Trempe, Maxime; Sabourin, Maxime; Proteau, Luc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Consolidation is a time-dependent process that is responsible for the storage of information in long-term memory. As such, it plays a crucial role in motor learning. Prior research suggests that some consolidation processes are triggered only when the learner experiences some success during practice. In the present study, we tested whether…

Markovits, Henry; And Others – Child Development, 1996
A model of conditional reasoning predicted that children under 12 would respond correctly to questions of uncertain logical form if premises and context enabled them to access counterexamples from memory, and that children's performance with uncertain logical forms would decrease when empirically true premises are presented in a fantasy context.…

Cormier, Pierre; Dagenais, Yvon – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1983
A total of 192 second- to sixth-grade children, showing three different levels of class-inclusion answers (failure, correct answer based on counting, correct answer based on logical reasons), performed four necessity tasks. Results are discussed with reference to individual and constructive generalization processes. (Author/RH)

Flemons, Douglas – Canadian Journal of Counselling, 1987
Asserts that individuals are limited in knowing by the threshold of their available means of perception. Everything exists in relation to other things; a person's assumptions and methods participate in creating results he or she sees, thus social science research problems are part of a pattern of interaction. Advocates isolating not entities, but…

Brown, James A. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1980
Canadian children follow an apparent sequence in the development of a concept of nationality from a verbal level of understanding of geographical relationships (beginning about age six), to an ability to demonstrate spatial relationships, then to an understanding of one's nationality, at about age 10. There are important educational implications.…

Bogdan, Deanne; Yeomans, Stephen – Journal of Moral Education, 1986
Examines a high school literature censorship case, and challenges the assumption that values can be "absorbed" through emotional engagement with a "transparent" text. Concludes with guidelines for avoiding indoctrination by viewing literature as the construction of fictional worlds whose values are decoded by calculated acts of…

Hazzan, Orit; Zazkis, Rina – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
There is a growing interest in the mathematics education community in the notion of abstraction and its significance in the learning of mathematics. "Reducing abstraction" is a theoretical framework that examines learners' behavior in terms of coping with abstraction level. This article extends the scope of applicability of this…

Doughty, Howard A. – College Quarterly, 2006
This article offers a skeletal critique of the pedagogical theory and the teaching practices arising from the work of educational innovator, Benjamin Bloom. Professor Bloom's theory and method have overtly and covertly insinuated themselves into North American educational practice over the past half-century. Their impact and influence have been…

Daniels, L. B. – School Guidance Worker, 1975
The author: (1) pinpoints the central core of values in education (i.e. normative reasoning); (2) outlines the special opportunities counselors have for engaging in values education; (3) points to inadequacies in several popular theories; and (4) describes a new program at the University of British Columbia in values education.

Bountrogianni, Marie – 1985
To investigate similarity judgements in different cultural contexts, the performance of two groups of children on seven similarity tasks and on two tests of metaphor was compared. The 45 Canadian and 45 Canadian-Greek children (ages 5, 8, and 11) had different cultural and linguistic backgrounds but common schooling experiences. The seven tasks…

Matthews, Becky – Education Canada, 2003
If British Columbia education policy wanted to promote growth in numeracy and mathematics, the curriculum would provide opportunities to use mathematical concepts in social situations and give students time to move from concrete to abstract thought. Instead, the curriculum emphasizes extensive mechanical understanding and algorithmic manipulation…

Spetz, Steven N. – History and Social Science Teacher, 1989
Argues that the emphasis in law courses on memorizing facts fails to teach the desired concepts of reasoning and problem-solving. Recommends the use of open-book tests. Suggests that because law is an imprecise subject, and there are no right or wrong answers, it should be taught in an open format. (LS)

Snart, Fern; Mulcahy, Robert – 1979
Age differences in recognition and recall of common nouns were studied using three groups of fifty students, with mean ages of 6.7, 11.4, and 16.9. Subjects were randomly placed in either an incidental or intentional learning condition. All subjects were questioned about the physical, phonemic, and semantic aspects of the same words, in the same…
