Peer reviewedVogel, Wolfgang H.; Ferguson, Harold W. – Science Teacher, 1974
Defines learning and memory and presents experimental evidence that indicates that learning and memory are chemical in nature. (JR)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Cognitive Processes
Peer reviewedJohnstone, Alex H.; Letton, Kirsty M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1989
Examines the psychology of learning and its application to work in the laboratory. States that the working memory capacity of students is limited; therefore the amount of information they can process needs to be controlled and "recipe following" in the laboratory is perfectly reasonable. (RT)

Peer reviewedPickering, Miles – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses some of the difficulties involved with chemistry laboratory experiences and some laboratory manuals. Cites studies that indicate that part of the difficulty can be attributed to constraints relating to the short-term memory of the operational information and the assumption that students have a certain level of knowledge.
