- Abstract
- This report outlines Explanation Construction Theory, a psychological theory of how people come to comprehend scientific explanations. Explanation Construction Theory has three components: (a) a theory of how scientific knowledge is represented in memory, (b) a taxonomy of different representations that can be formed in response to an encounter with a text presenting a theory, and (c) a set of factors that influence which of these representations will be constructed.
