Memory for the position of a moving target is often displaced in the direction of anticipated motion, and this has been referred to as "representational momentum".

Presents the results of a study contrasting conventional instruction with protocol lessons (a sequence of lessons based on developmental stages of learning with each lesson building on the previous one) concerning sketch maps. The students taught with the protocol lessons showed significant improvement over the other group. (MJP)
