The Long-Term Impact of Interactive Exhibits.
Stevenson, John
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n5 spec iss p521-32 1991
Follow-up interviews with 79 adults and children about 6 months after their visit to Launch Pad, the interactive center in London's Science Museum, provide evidence of long-term impact of the visit. Although most of the memories were episodic rather than semantic in nature, over one-quarter of the memories showed evidence that respondents reflected on the encounter. (17 references) (Author/JJK)
