Our in situ research documents common reasoning patterns used by students in an introductory biology course.
Now, the more subtle effects of exposures to environmental neurotoxicants are being documented: reduction in intelligence, impairment in reasoning ability, shortening of attention span, and alteration of behavior.
For example, Lising and Elby (2005) documented that Jan, a life sciences major, displayed two types of reasoning in physics: formal, technical reasoning and intuitive, everyday reasoning.
However, contrary to this line of reasoning, a number of groups have documented the rapid evolution of BRCA1[ 6- 11] and BRCA2[ 10] in mammals.
