[RUME] Psychology Readings for Mathematicians

[Richard Hake]

Some subscribers to RUME and Math-Learn might be interested in the 
post "Psychology Readings for Mathematicians" [Hake (2010)].  The 
abstract reads:

*************************************************
ABSTRACT:  Mathematics educator Wayne Bishop (2010) stated that in 
his college years "ed psych and sociology were two of the most 
useless, objective-evidence-free, courses that [he] was obligated to 
take." Bill Marsh (2010) responded that Bishop owed himself and 
others "a little good reading in good psychology," suggesting the 
works of Eleanor or J.J. Gibson, George Miller of "Magic Number 
Seven" fame, Peter Bryant, Robbie Case, and Catherine Sophian.

In this post I:

(a) list two other suggestions - "Mathematics  Learning in Early 
Childhood [Cross et al. (2009)] and "Psychology's role in mathematics 
and science education"  [Newcombe et al. (2009)],  and 

(b) break with discussion-list protocol by listing some academic 
references to works by the authors suggested by Marsh.
