Results of the experiment provide support for the neo-Piagetian model. (Author)

Performance demonstrated that the conceptual style and cognitive tempo of the model changed the styles and tempos of the Ss and that these effects generalized to independent tasks. (Author)

Describes the construction of a knowledge representation from the identification of the problem (nephrotic syndrome) to a running computer simulation of causal reasoning to provide a vertical slice of the construction of a cognitive model. Interactions between textbook knowledge, observations of human experts, and computational requirements are…

Suggests some reasons why the exploration and description of language function is often an untidy exercise but, none-the-less very rewarding and rich in implication for English teaching. (Author/RK)
