Answer first: Applying the heuristic-analytic theory of reasoning to examine student intuitive thinking in the context of physics

We have applied the heuristic-analytic theory of reasoning to interpret inconsistencies in student reasoning approaches to physics problems. This study was motivated by an emerging body of evidence that suggests that student conceptual and reasoning competence demonstrated on one task often fails to...
