A Paradigm Shift: The Implications of Working Memory Limits for Physics and Chemistry Instruction

Published: Jan 31, 2021
Abstract
Scientists who study how the brain solves problems have recently verified that, because of stringent limitations in working memory, where the brain solves problems, students must apply facts and algorithms that have previously been well memorized to reliably solve problems of any complexity. This is a paradigm shift: A change in the fundamental understanding of how the brain solves problems and how we can best guide students to learn to solve...
