Abstract
Evolving beliefs and reasoning strategies of 22 fifth and sixth graders working on a causal reasoning problem were observed. Children conducted experiments to learn about relations between design features and speed of race cars in a computerized "microworld." Subjects did not attain full understanding of features disconfirming their initial beliefs. (RH)
