The Locus of Constructive Activity in Memory for Mathematical Proofs.
Hirst, William
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v6 n2 p119-26 Mar 1980
Constructive activity and effects of clarifying context in encoding and retrieval were investigated in a study of memory for mathematical proofs. Results are offered as support of a reconstructive cycle in which context initiates reconstruction; which is redirected or extended by schemata; which is guided by the context. (Author/RD)
