What Goes on in Students' Heads in Lab?
Pickering, Miles
Journal of Chemical Education, v64 n6 p521-23 Jun 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.
