A Meta-Analytic Review of the Relationship Between Epistemic Cognition and Academic Achievement (2018, background): “…has revealed far more variability, with even young children capable of displaying “sophisticated” epistemic cognition under adaptive conditions (e.g., Burr & Hofer, 2002; Conley et al., 2004; Hofer & Bendixen, 2012), middleschool and high-school students showing adept epistemic cognition (Elby &…”
Epistemology, metacognition, and self-regulation: musings on an emerging field (2010, background): “We presume that epistemic metacognition emerges after the development of theory of mind (see Burr and Hofer 2002 ) somewhere around the age of four or five.”

An Integrative Approach to Personal Epistemology: A Guiding Model (2004, methodology): “Consistent with Burr and Hofer (2002) and Kuhn and Weinstock (2002), we believe that our model supports the view that even young children would benefit from more constructivist climates in, and out of, the classroom.”
