Robertson, Heather-Jane – Phi Delta Kappan, 2000

Thierry, Guillaume – Infant and Child Development, 2005
Studying normal infant development is a challenge for cognitive scientists in general and for neuroscientists in particular because: (1) physiological indices of infant cognition are generally noisy and technically difficult to obtain; and (2) interindividual variability and a paucity of established results make data interpretation very complex,…

Reid, Alan – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2003
The field of environmental education research has been moving away from scientistic and positivistic discourses for some time now ("Environmental Education Research," 2000; Hart & Nolan, 1999).
