Previous Knowledge, Mental Models and Problem Solving. A Study with High School Students

In this paper an experiment was carried out to test the theory of mental models of Johnson-Laird, which classifies subjects according to their previous knowledge. The subjects of the experiment were high school students of Valencia (Spain), to whom a problem solving test was administered. The result...

Los sujetos participantes en el experimento fueron alumnos de bachillerato de un centro educativo de Valencia (España), a quienes se les administró una prueba de resolución de problemas. Los resultados parecen confirmar un relación inversa entre el número de modelos mentales implicados en el problema y el porcentaje que lo resuelve correctamente, tal y como predice la teoría. Además, los sujetos con mayor conocimiento previo, no siempre resuelven significativamente mejor los problemas.Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
