Journal Article
Duffin, J., & Simpson, A. (2005). Cognitive Empathy and the Transition to Independent Graduate Study in Mathematics. Educational Studies in Mathematics, 58(1), 121-135. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-005-2384-5

Thirteen PhD students took part in interviews focussed on the nature of their own learning of mathematics. In analysing these interviews an unexpected category emerged concerning the students' awareness of others as having particular types of learnin...

Convergence of Sequences and Series 2: Interactions between Nonvisual Reasoning and the Learner's Beliefs about their own Role (2005)
Journal Article
Alcock, L., & Simpson, A. (2005). Convergence of Sequences and Series 2: Interactions between Nonvisual Reasoning and the Learner's Beliefs about their own Role. Educational Studies in Mathematics, 58(1), 77-100. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-005-2813-5

this paper examines the work of students who, when reasoning about real analysis, do so almost exclusively by means of verbal and algebraic reasoining, and tend not to incorporate visual images into their work. It examines the work of students from t... Read More about Convergence of Sequences and Series 2: Interactions between Nonvisual Reasoning and the Learner's Beliefs about their own Role.
