Another factor that distinguishes different forms of consequentialism is the standard or standards they use to evaluate consequences their conception of the good.
In the late 1990s, as a graduate student at Rutgers, she interviewed 63 siblings ranging in age from 5 to 17 to learn how they conceived of autism and to evaluate those conceptions, not for correctness but for their level of sophistication.
The aim of this research was to quantitatively evaluate the conceptions on the origins of certain types of human behavior expressed by a group of 1,212 Brazilian university students.
This can only be accomplished if we first understand the specific misconceptions our students bring to the classroom (for suggestions on how to do this, see Bishop and Anderson 1990; Wescott and Cunningham 2005; Anderson et al. 2002; Lederman et al. 2002) and then use appropriate pedagogy to allow our students to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate their conceptions (Firenze 1997).
85 Furthermore, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' recent practice bulletin recommends that women with chronic hypertension "should be evaluated before conception to ascertain possible end-organ involvement".

Although such precision is desirable, the KiKK study did not analyze residence at birth or conception, which would be more relevant to fetal dose, nor did it evaluate residential history from conception to diagnosis, which would be relevant to exposure history.
The goal of this work-in-progress is to evaluate and analyze alternative conceptions among students about an open and short circuit concepts.
