Relational Reasoning and Its Manifestations in the Educational Context: a Systematic Review of the Literature (2013, background): “The ability to conceptualize antithetical opposition is important for argument and persuasion (Chinn and Anderson 1998; Kuhn and Udell 2007) and conceptual change with refutation text (Broughton et al. 2010).”
