Do Naïve Theories Ever Go Away? Using Brain and Behavior to Understand Changes in Concepts (2007, methodology): “…this volume pursue this approach 193 (e.g., Klahr, this volume); however, following our previous work integrating naturalistic research and cognitive models (Dunbar, 1995; Blanchette & Dunbar, 2001; Fugelsang, Stein, Green, & Dunbar, 2004) we use converging methods to understand conceptual change.”
Worldview transformation and the development of social consciousness (2010, background): “The results of research by Dunbar (2008) show that ‘data inconsistent with one’s expectations are treated as errors and thus not easily incorporated into one’s knowledge representation’ (p. 200). fMRI studies with scientists and science students (Dunbar et al., 2007) suggest that the learning…”
Co-Lab: research and development of an online learning environment for collaborative scientific discovery learning (2005, background): “Teamwork has long since been a common practice in science and many scientific discoveries were a joint effort ( Dunbar, in press ).”
How Parent Explanation Changes What Children Learn from Everyday Scientific Thinking. (2007, background): “In group problem solving, construction of collaborative explanations has been linked to problem solving success among adult dyads working on microworld science tasks (Okada & Simon, 1997) and scientists conducting cuttingedge molecular biology research ( Dunbar, 1995, 2001 ).”
