Instructional Principles and Hypotheses

Instructional Principles

The PSLC maintains a collection of instructional principle pages. Each instructional principle page should be structured with the following headers:

Brief statement of principle
Description of principle
1. Operational definition
2. Examples
Experimental support
1. Laboratory experiment support
2. In vivo experiment support
Theoretical rationale (these entries should link to one or more learning processes)
Conditions of application
Caveats, limitations, open issues, or dissenting views
Variations (descendants)
Generalizations (ascendants)
References
