- Differences in Brain Activation between Novices and Experts in Science during a Task Involving a Common Misconception in Electricity. (2014, background): “There is also a pilot functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, conducted by Dunbar, Fugelsang, and Stein (2007), that shows differences in brain activation between novices and scientific experts when they evaluate the correctness of videos showing balls of different sizes falling at…”
- Worldview transformation and the development of social consciousness (2010, background): “…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 centre of the brain (i.e., the caudate and parahippocampal gyrus) responds favourably to…”
- Comparing Four Instructional Techniques for Promoting Robust Knowledge (2015, background): “…has repeatedly shown that novice learners are also poor at detecting inconsistencies in their knowledge and, when faced with contradictory evidence, are likely to ignore or reinterpret the evidence rather than revising their own ideas (Chinn and Brewer 1993; Dunbar et al. 2007; Posner et al. 1982).”
- The neuroscience of conceptual learning in science and mathematics (2016, background): “During interference control, children show more diffuse frontal cortex activations and a greater recruitment of posterior brain regions; adults by contrast show more focal activation in the DLPFC, ACC and inferior frontal gyrus [42,43].”
- The Nature and Development of Critical-Analytic Thinking (2014, background): “For example, in recent neuroimaging research on Newtonian concepts of motion, even experts were shown to be inhibiting their more Aristotelian concepts (Dunbar et al. 2007).”
