q1 i? Effective writing requires both the knowledge-constituting process and the knowledge-transforming process. → Galbraith 2018

Evidence¶

Galbraith 2018¶

Galbraith, D., & Baaijen, V. M. (2018). The Work of Writing: Raiding the Inarticulate. Educational psychologist, 53(4), 238-257. https://doi.org/10.1080/00461520.2018.1505515

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical claim stated in the article's abstract: the two proposed processes are jointly necessary, "although both processes are required for effective writing". The article offers this as a model-based argument rather than a tested empirical result.

"It suggests that, although both processes are required for effective writing, the contrasting nature of the implicit organization guiding the constitution of the writer's understanding and the explicit organization required to satisfy rhetorical goals is the source of a fundamental conflict in writing"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Writing Skills — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• A knowledge-constituting process synthesizes writing content from constraints within semantic memory — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The contrast between implicit and explicit organization is the source of a fundamental conflict in writing — related
• A knowledge-transforming process manipulates episodic-memory content in working memory to satisfy rhetorical goals — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
