Conversations about conversational code: On the collaborative critical code studies reading of Eliza
Published in 1966, Joseph Weizenbaum’s ELIZA is the first conversational agent or chatbot, most famous for its DOCTOR persona. In 2021, a group of scholars recovered the original source code for ELIZA from the MIT archives. For about four years, an expanded team of eight scholars from diverse disciplines explored this code through weekly meetings in one of the longest ongoing projects of critical code studies. This paper presents both the methodo…
Higher-level domain-general skills in maths problem solving
Mathematical problem solving relies in part on higher-level domain-general skills, but contributions of such skills to problem solving are understudied in the field of mathematical cognition. This study sought evidence for domain-general contributions to maths problem solving of four such skills: logical reasoning, backward reference, planning/evaluating, and allocation of time. Participants completed problem solving tasks in two domains, probabi…

Shared scientific thinking in everyday parent‐child activity
Current accounts of the development of scientific reasoning focus on individual children's ability to coordinate the collection and evaluation of evidence with the creation of theories to explain the evidence. This observational study of parent–child interactions in a children's museum demonstrated that parents shape and support children's scientific thinking in everyday, nonobligatory activity. When children engaged an exhibit with parents, thei…
