Room for Scientific Thought?
Johnstone, A. H.; Al-Naeme, F. F.
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n2 p187-92 Apr-Jun 1991
The idea of potential and usable processing space is explored, and consequent teaching strategies are discussed. Simultaneous studies of the effect of working memory space and field-dependence on science performance at secondary and tertiary levels are reviewed. How students filter out "signal" from "noise" during various teaching methods is modelled. (KR)
