These studies involve the use of cognitive science techniques to investigate students' information processing and knowledge construction as they watch mathematics instruction on videotape.

A third line of work focuses on teachers' thinking and planning, and the development of teaching skill. Publications A. Published Work 1. Stevenson, H. W., Lee, S. Y., and Stigler, J. W.
