Learning Processes in Chemistry: Drawing Upon Cognitive Resources to Learn About the Particulate Structure of Matter (2010, background): “This type of thinking has previously been suggested as an explanation for why senior secondary and college students seem to think that certain electronic configurations tend to be naturally stable (Taber, 2008; Taber & Tan, 2007).”
Impacts of Multi‐representational Instruction on High School Students’ Conceptual Understandings of the Particulate Nature of Matter (2009, background): “knowledge was recognised and appreciated given its potential to give rise to the construction of new knowledge (Taber, 2008).”
Development and Assessment of A Diagnostic Tool to Identify Organic Chemistry Students’ Alternative Conceptions Related to Acid Strength (2012, background): “Students’ mental models acted as a system of explicit and implicit knowledge that guided the use of intuitive reasoning (Cheng & Brown, 2010; Redish, 2004; diSessa, 1993; Stavy & Tirosh, 2000; Taber, 2008; Talanquer, 2006; Vosniadou, 1994).”
Learning at the Symbolic Level (2009, background): “Given the strength of such intuitions, our symbolic conventions may readily trigger or reinforce alternative conceptions ( Taber, 2007 ).”
The role of intuitive heuristics in students' thinking: Ranking chemical substances (2010, background): “In either case, intuitive thinking is assumed to draw from preconscious conceptual structures and cognitive biases such as those characteristic of System 1 in dual-process theories (Taber, 2008).”
