    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Learning in the sciences is difficult for students from\nelementary school to university due to misconceptions, or\nincorrect prior knowledge, interfering with the acquisition of\nnew knowledge. The process of replacing previously incorrect\nideas with new and accurate ones is referred to as conceptual\nchange. Which factors and to what extent they facilitate the\nconceptual change is debated. This study primarily\ninvestigates two key components to conceptual change in\nscientific knowledge: text style and epistemic beliefs. We also\nexplored additional contributions of individual differences in\nprior knowledge, reading ability, and working memory. 157\ncollege students completed a two-part, within subjects design\nstudy in which they completed pretests, read passages\naddressing a misconception, completed posttests, and were\nassessed on a battery of the individual difference measures.\nWe noted conceptual change on the posttest, but individual\nreaders appeared to respond to the text differently.",
