• Naturalistic investigations and models of reasoning about complex indeterminate causation (2011, background): “Feltovich et al. (2004) described a “reductive tendency” to chop complex events into artificial stages, to treat simultaneous events as sequential, dynamic events as static, nonlinear processes as linear, to separate factors that are interacting with each other.”
• Common Ground and Coordination in Joint Activity (2005, background): “Feltovich et al., 1989; 2004, regarding the “reductive bias”).”
