Expanding the Dimensions of Epistemic Cognition: Arguments From Philosophy and Psychology (2011, background): “Epistemic sophistication lies not in naively thinking that knowledge comes from one source or another but in recognizing how different sources come together to support different knowledge claims (cf. Bromme et al., 2008).”
When law students read multiple documents about global warming: examining the role of topic-specific beliefs about the nature of knowledge and knowing (2010, background): “Because it could be argued that topic-specific epistemic beliefs are largely an outcome of topic knowledge (cf., Bromme et al. 2008 ), it seems essential to establish that topicspecific epistemic beliefs and topic knowledge are independent predictors of multipledocuments comprehension.”
Changing Teachers' Epistemic Cognition: A New Conceptual Framework for Epistemic Reflexivity (2017, background): “…that sophisticated (i.e., advanced or availing) epistemic cognition might be reflected in a type of flexibility in one’s epistemic thinking, that is, an ability or tendency to apply different epistemic standards or practices in different contexts (Bromme et al., 2008; Kienhues & Bromme, 2011).”
Epistemological beliefs are standards for adaptive learning: a functional theory about epistemological beliefs and metacognition (2010, background): “We have suggested elsewhere ( Bromme et al. 2008 ) to conceive those beliefs ‘sophisticated’ which allow for a context appropriate shift between the knowledge as given facts – view and the knowledge as preliminary and socially shared -view.”
