Restructuring Conceptions of Motion in Physics [electronic resource] : Naive Students / Michael Ranney.

Students lacking formal training in physics have great difficulty predicting the paths of various projectiles. With respect to pendulum-bobs that are released from various points in a swing, a previous experiment found that empirical feedback (i.e., resultant trajectories) produced transfer-of-train...
