Role of mental representations in problem solving: Students’ approaches to nondirected tasks
In this paper, we report on a project concerned with the role of cognition during problem solving. We specifically explore the categories of mental representations that students work with during problem solving of different representational task formats. The sample, consisting of 19 engineering stud...
