Running head: Concept discovery in a Scientific Domain Address all correspondence to: (2008)
Concept Discovery in a Scientific Domain The scientific reasoning strategies used to discover a new concept in a scientific domain were investigated in two studies. An innovative task in which...

Laboratory studies of analogical reasoning have shown that subjects are mostly influenced by superficial similarity in the retrieval of source analogs. However, real-world investigations have...
Scientists Build Models InVivo Science as a Window on the Science Mind (1999)
How do scientists think, reason and generate new models and theories? How do scientists represent their knowledge? Answers to these questions are of paramount importance not only in understanding...
Developmental Differences in Scientific Discovery Processes. (1998)
The purpose of the three studies reported here was to formulate a framework for understanding the development of scientific reasoning processes. Subjects were placed in a simulated scientific...
Designing Good Experiments to Test Bad Hypotheses. (1998)
Klahr, David, Dunbar, Kevin, Fay, Anne L.
What does it take to design a good experiment? Given an hypothesis to be evaluated -- either in isolation or in competition with alternatives -- what formal rules, heuristics, and pragmatic...
Dual Space Search during Scientific Reasoning. (1998)
The purpose of the two studies reported here was to develop an integrated model of the scientific reasoning process. Subjects were placed in a simulated scientific discovery context by first teaching...
Are There Developmental Milestones in Science Reasoning? (1998)
Fay, Anne L., Klahr, David, Dunbar, Kevin
This paper presents a conceptual framework that integrates studies on scientific reasoning that have been conducted with different age subjects and across different experimental tasks. Traditionally,...
