Direct linkLem, Stephanie; Onghena, Patrick; Verschaffel, Lieven; Van Dooren, Wim – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Box plots are frequently used, but are often misinterpreted by students. Especially the area of the box in box plots is often misinterpreted as representing number or proportion of observations, while it actually represents their density. In a first study, reaction time evidence was used to test whether heuristic reasoning underlies this…

Peer reviewedWeth, Rudiger, von der; Frankenberger, Eckart – Learning and Instruction, 1995

A model is proposed that explains differences in designing as an interaction of domain-specific and heuristic competence. (SLD)
