  7. Problem solving is often easier when framed by supportive, concrete context (Nisbett & Ross, 1980; Wason & Shapiro, 1977) • Authentic, immersive scenarios can be highly motivating and less intimidating (Edelson & Reiser, 2006, Grigorenko, Jarvin, & Sternberg, 2002), and more meaningful (Barab & Roth, 2006; Ladson-Billings, 1995) • Contexts bring in useful constraints for improving performance (McNeil Uttal, Jarvin, & Sternberg, 2009; Nunes, Schliemann, & Carraher, 1993; Verschaffel et al., 2000) • Concrete cases are often more memorable (Paivio, 1990) • Visual processes used for concrete objects can be co-opted for abstract reasoning (Glenberg et al., 2004; Goldstone & Barsalou, 1998) • Concrete details are not always superficial, but are cues as to deep principles (Bassok, 1996)

  8. Knowledge is less tied to a specific domain (DeLoache, 1995; 2000) • Critical essence of a phenomenon is highlighted as distracting details are eliminated (Goldstone & Sakamoto, 2003; Kaminski, Sloutsky, & Heckler, 2008) • Hard to interpret something as both an object and a symbol (Uttal, Scudder, & DeLoache, 1997) • Extraneous cognitive load of details (Kalyuga, Ayres, Chandler, & Sweller, 2003)

  10. The world of lamp design and retail is competitive and cut-throat. Imagine that you are invited to the 50th annual meeting of the “Lamp Designers Guild” that happens to be held in Bloomington, Indiana. You are invited to this convention as an expert statistician to help settle a fight that has broken out among the attendees... Often times, it is useful to have a summary characterization for a set of data.  Imagine, for example, trying to come up with an apt summary for the number of quality assessments passed by a set of lamps. Imagine that you are invited into a classroom as an expert statistician to help settle a fight that has broken out in the classroom. The classroom is Mrs. Perkins’ sixth grade pre-algebra class in Bloomington, Indiana. The fight has to do what score best represents the class’ overall performance on a mathematics exam. Your task is to address the entire class, and give it advice on which of three possibilities is best. Often times, it is useful to have a summary characterization for a set of data. Imagine, for example, trying to come up with an apt summary for the number of correct answers to a mathematics exam in a small classroom.
