Simon, Martin; Saldanha, Luis; McClintock, Evan; Akar, Gulseren Karagoz; Watanabe, Tad; Zembat, Ismail Ozgur – Cognition and Instruction, 2010
We discuss an emerging program of research on a particular aspect of mathematics learning, students' learning through their own mathematical activity as they engage in particular mathematical tasks. Prior research in mathematics education has characterized learning trajectories of students by specifying a series of conceptual steps through which…

Eisenberg, Theodore A.; Walbesser, Henry H. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1971
The article presents numerical procedures for the validation and comparison of hierarchically organized curricula. Examples of specific hypotheses one should test, and calculations of five statistics for testing these hypotheses are given (consistency ratio, adequacy ratio, inverse consistency ratio, inverse adequacy ratio, and completeness…

Baeyens, Frank; Vansteenwegen, Debora; Beckers, Tom; Hermans, Dirk; Kerkhof, Ineke; De Ceulaer, Annick – Learning & Memory, 2005
Using a conditioned suppression task, we investigated extinction and renewal of Pavlovian modulation in human sequential Feature Positive (FP) discrimination learning. In Experiment 1, in context a participants were first trained on two FP discriminations, X[right arrow]A+/A- and Y[right arrow]B+/B-. Extinction treatment was administered in the…

Tenenberg, Morton S. – 1970
This study, part of a larger effort to assess the effects of the Anthropology Curriculum Study Project course, "Patterns in Human History", was designed to assess the learning dynamics involved in a short lesson sequence from Part I on the concept of social position. Random structured samples of 82 project and 82 control students were…
