Dear Friends,

I have gotten a request which I can not readily answer and would like to poll the collective brains here assembled for the answer. I am hoping the answer will be interesting to a lot of us. A staff member at TERC had been referred to a study which was using SimCity and SimEarth to work with students to discover at what age students are able to handle multi-variables in simulations. She thought it might have come out of the University of Arizona and that it might have found that older students can handle multi-variables better than younger ones. Does anyone know of a reference which might fit one, two or any of these parameters?

Thanks
