specific information and/or they did not learn
I found this New York Times article very interesting. All correlational, of
course, but intriguing studies showing that sleep deficits in children and
adults are associated with ADHD behaviors in both in a large number of cases.
What counts as a general principle that we might expect students to know and be
able to use? Are they the result of meta-analyses and convergent evidence? Are
they established relationships? Are they, more typically, recurrent
topics/ideas popular with textbook authors? Or...Of course, they may
