In this episode of the NECC Now Podcast, Dave Palmer, Jason Bourret, and Western New England University graduate students discuss a series of replies to the Edwards et al. (2019) paper. The response papers were written by eminent members of our field and cover a lot of ground. They discuss empirical work speaking to how the motivating operation concept should most accurately be described, the authors’ interpretations, and implications for changing our conceptualization of the concept.
