Gire, Elizabeth; Price, Edward – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
The formalism of quantum mechanics includes a rich collection of representations for describing quantum systems, including functions, graphs, matrices, histograms of probabilities, and Dirac notation. The varied features of these representations affect how computations are performed. For example, identifying probabilities of measurement outcomes…

Zwolak, Justyna P.; Manogue, Corinne A. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Standardized assessment tests that allow researchers to compare the performance of students under various curricula are highly desirable. There are several research-based conceptual tests that serve as instruments to assess and identify students' difficulties in lower-division courses. At the upper-division level assessing students' difficulties…

Gire, Elizabeth; Price, Edward – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
Representations in physics possess both physical and conceptual aspects that are fundamentally intertwined and can interact to support or hinder sense making and computation. We use distributed cognition and the theory of conceptual blending with material anchors to interpret the roles of conceptual and material features of representations in…
