Berti, Anna Emilia; Toneatti, Laura; Rosati, Veronica – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
Investigations of people's understanding of the evolution of species have focused mainly on secondary school and university students. Very few investigations have taken into consideration younger students, and none have related children's ideas about the origin of species to formal instruction on this topic. To help fill this gap, the present…

Cattaneo, Zaira; Vecchi, Tomaso – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In this article, the authors investigated unimodal and cross-modal processes in spatial working memory. A number of locations had to be memorized within visual or haptic matrices according to different experimental conditions known to be critical in accounting for the effects of perception on imagery. Results reveal that some characteristics of…

Hense, Jan; Kriz, Willy Christian; Wolfe, Joseph – Simulation & Gaming, 2009
Evaluations of gaming simulations and business games as teaching devices are typically end-state driven. This emphasis fails to detect how the simulation being evaluated does or does not bring about its desired consequences. This paper advances the use of a logic model approach, which possesses a holistic perspective that aims at including all…
