Quotes by Greg Ashman (?)

“If I told you that 'Abraham Lincoln, the first president of Canada, invented the automobile,' you would think critically about this without any prompting because it would conflict with knowledge you hold in long-term memory. So, if we want to enhance critical thinking, building knowledge in long-term memory may be our best bet.”
― Greg Ashman, A Little Guide for Teachers: Cognitive Load Theory

“Unfortunately for scientists, ‘theory’ has an additional meaning in everyday language, that of ‘what someone thinks may be the case’. Such a theory does not have to pass the test of observations and experiments. There is no requirement for it to make accurate predictions. This kind of theory is a drag on education.”
