Peer reviewedSaljo, Roger; Wyndhamn, Jan – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1988

Performance at a group level on an elementary arithmetic task is influenced by the immediate context. Use of analogies as heuristic aids and the functional meaning of the task as a pedagogical praxis are assessed. (TJH)
