This paper explores how newcomers experience their transition to work as they strive to move from a position of "educational" knowledge to professional knowing.

D'Mello, Sidney K.; Dowell, Nia; Graesser, Arthur – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2011

Routine actions are commonly assumed to be controlled by hierarchically organized processes and representations. In the domain of typing theories, word-level information is assumed to activate the constituent keystrokes required to type each letter in a word. We tested this assumption directly using a novel single-letter probe technique. Subjects…
