Toward an Interactionist Theory of Cognitive Dysfunction and The Research Project on Interactive Formation of Learning Difficulties by E. Olkinuora, E. Lehtinen, and P. Salonen, Reviewed by Pam Maykut and Richard Morehouse

Abstract

Introduction: Would we judge da Vinci's style by the smile on the Mona Lisa? Is it an injustice to El Greco to judge him only by his "hands"? Of course it is! Yet as teachers we sometimes evaluate students by a single criteria, that is, how they perform on a test. We may be especially prone to this error when we look at students with learning problems.
