• How Mathematicians Obtain Conviction: Implications for Mathematics Instruction and Research on Epistemic Cognition (2014, background): “Knuth et al. (2009) observed that their middle school students were more likely to provide empirical justifications for complicated statements than for simple ones and conjectured that students may have given empirical justifications because deductive justifications were too difficult.”
• Mathematics Majors' Perceptions of Conviction, Validity, and Proof (2010, background): “Like the Knuth et al. (2009) study, the students in Healy and Hoyles’ (2000) study were using a reform-oriented curriculum that emphasized the importance of proof.”
