Undergraduate students study the topic of binomial series expansion as part of their Calculus course. The purpose of this study was to explore the mental constructions of binomial series expansion of a class of 159 students. Data were collected through a written assessment task by each member of the class. A convenient sample of eleven students…

Direct linkLake, Brenden M.; Lawrence, Neil D.; Tenenbaum, Joshua B. – Cognitive Science, 2018
Both scientists and children make important structural discoveries, yet their computational underpinnings are not well understood. Structure discovery has previously been formalized as probabilistic inference about the right structural form--where form could be a tree, ring, chain, grid, etc. (Kemp & Tenenbaum, 2008). Although this approach…
