Relational Reasoning and Its Manifestations in the Educational Context: a Systematic Review of the Literature (2013, background): “Today, relational reasoning is generally regarded as central to human cognition (Hofstadter 2001) and education (e.g., Richland and McDonough 2010).”
Building Links Between Early Socioeconomic Status, Cognitive Ability, and Math and Science Achievement (2017, background): “In a group of college students, use of an instructional strategy that focused on relational reasoning led to greater success on a complex problem-solving task (Richland & McDonough, 2010).”
Toward an Instructionally Oriented Theory of Example-Based Learning (2014, unknown): “, 2008 ; Richland & McDonough , 2010 ) .”
Making Connections in Math: Activating a Prior Knowledge Analogue Matters for Learning (2015, background): “…(e.g., Nokes & Belenky, 2011; Novick, 1988), the problems (e.g., Bassok, 1996; Chen & Daehler, 1989; Daehler & Chen, 1991; Novick, 1988), and the context (e.g., Gick & Holyoak, 1980; Novick & Holyoak, 1991; Reed, Dempster, & Ettinger, 1985; Richland & McDonough, 2010; Thompson & Opfer, 2010).”
Teaching the Conceptual Structure of Mathematics (2012, background): “Several projects have begun to experimentally test the strategies for supporting comparisons that were identified as more frequent in the high-achieving countries (eg, Richland & McDonough, 2010 ).”
Analogical Reasoning in the Classroom: Insights from Cognitive Science. (2015, background): “This guidance can take the form of question prompts that explicitly structure the comparison process (Catrambone & Holyoak, 1989) or of visual aids (Richland & McDonough, 2010).”
Teaching Mathematics by Comparison: Analog Visibility as a Double-Edged Sword. (2016, result): “…presenting source and target analogs simultaneously versus sequentially leads to better learning (Gentner et al., 2003; RittleJohnson & Star, 2009; Richland & McDonough, 2010; Star & Rittle-Johnson, 2009), but these studies did not examine comparisons between an incorrect and a correct strategy.”
Learning Through Case Comparisons: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, methodology): “…situations that share the same underlying structure but differ in the specific features (Chen & Daehler, 1989; Gentner et al., 2003; Gerjets, Scheiter, & Schuh, 2008; Gick & Holyoak, 1980, 1983; Loewenstein, Thompson, & Gentner, 2003; Richland & McDonough, 2010; Schuh, Gerjets, & Scheiter, 2005).”
The Import of Knowledge Export: Connecting Findings and Theories of Transfer of Learning (2012, background): “In one example from a real-world educational setting, Richland and McDonough (2010) found that explicitly cuing the meaningful commonalities between two math problems—for example, by visually presenting both examples at once and gesturing between corresponding aspects of them—improved students’…”
