- The tip of the iceberg in organic chemistry classes: how do students deal with the invisible? (2015, background): “The use and understanding of Lewis structures had been examined thoroughly by Cooper et al. (2010).”
- Discipline-Based Education Research: Understanding and Improving Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering. (2012, background): “Specifically, students have difficulty constructing Lewis structures, commonly used particulate-level diagrams of chemical and physical phenomena that demonstrate molecular shape and bonding (Cooper et al., 2010; Nicoll, 2003).”
- How Students Learn Content in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Through Drawing Activities (2019, unknown): “Students’ mental models often incorporate misconceptions that involve misapplying rules and heuristics (Cooper et al. 2010).”
