Peer reviewedLawson, David I.; Lawson, Anton E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
Grossberg's principles of neural modeling are reviewed and extended to provide a neural level theory to explain how analogies greatly increase the rate of learning and can make learning and retention possible. (PR)

Peer reviewedStewart, James H.; Atkin, Julia A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
A model of memory developed by information processing psychologists is described, illustrating how such a model could be used to guide science education research on learning and problem solving. (Author/SK)

Peer reviewedEsler, William K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Speculates that physiological changes resulting from repeated, long-term stimulation in human and laboratory animal brains are related to short- and long-term memory processes. Describes a physiological-based model which may explain many current learning theory principles and can serve as a foundation for developing new learning theories based on…
