Below, we summarize some ofthe relevant works on cognition relating to our research based on the extended summary ofcognition, value and decision-making research by Sprehn18.Earlier studies on cognition began in 1940s, where laboratory studies aimed at identifying groupsof people with significant differences in their cognitive processes. Some of the predominanttheories of this epoch are: 1) Perceptual versus Conceptual Groupers3, 2) Sharpeners andLevelers4, 3) Field Dependency/Independency5, and 4) Impulsive versus Reflective Thinkers6,7.We refer the readers to Kozhevnikov8 for an in depth review in this area.

, the use of real-timebehavioural rubrics in laboratories has allowed TAs to become more aware of studentexperimental skills and adapt their instruction to student need16. These behavioural rubrics wereuseful in this context as the TA to student ratio was 1:2, but in ratios much higher than this, itwould not be possible for TAs to fill them out in real-time and respond to student needssimultaneously. One approach that could allow student assessment of larger classrooms is the useof behavioural checklists, such as those used to simultaneously assess technical and non-technical skills in medicine17, which provide a binary assessment of the existence of observablebehaviours.
