The transfer of abstract principles governing complex adaptive systems

Article Abstract:

Experiments were conducted in order to evaluate participants' comprehension of the transfer of abstract laws, which control computer imitations of complex adaptive systems. Results revealed a better understanding by some participants, of the transfer of abstract principles when presented with a simulation in concrete form, rather than through graphical representations.

Acquiring new spatial intuitions: Learning to reason about rotations

Article Abstract:

The nature of learning to reason across the domain of simple rotations is investigated using virtual reality techniques. It is found that individual ability to reason about rotations correlated highly with mastery motivation, skill in fluid reasoning, and skill in reasoning about spatial transformations.
