- Conceptions of Efficiency: Applications in Learning and Problem Solving (2010, background): “Some researchers view efficiency as optimal effort ( Yeung, Lee, Pena, & Ryde, 2000 ), some view it as optimal performance ( Hoffman & Schraw, 2009 ; Perfetti, 1985 ; Walczyk & Griffith-Ross, 2006 ), whereas some view it as the relationship between maximum performance and minimum effort ( Kalyuga,”

- Integrating direct and inquiry-based instruction in the teaching of critical thinking: an intervention study (2014, methodology): “Measures on need for cognition, openness to experience, and conscientiousness were selected based on their relations to critical thinking in previous studies (e.g., Clifford et al. 2004; Spector et al. 2000; West et al. 2008).”
- The Cognitive Reflection Test as a predictor of performance on heuristics-and-biases tasks (2011, background): “That there is reliable variance in rational thinking independent of intelligence has been suggested before (Stanovich & West, 1998c, 2008b; West et al., 2008), but the properties of this intelligence-partialed variance are largely unexplored.”
- Effects of Game-Based Learning on Students’ Critical Thinking: A Meta-Analysis (2021, background): “Although GBL might aid critical thinking, it might also foster intuitive learning and simple heuristics, which drive cognitive biases in judgment or reasoning and hinder critical thinking (Turkle, 2003; West et al., 2008; Wouters & van Oostendorp, 2013).”
