Participants were grouped in “novices“ and “advanced learners“. The only difference in reasoning activities between the groups was found in time spent on experimenting. A correlation analyses revealed a strong indication for the importance of orientation. Also a difference in experimenting behavior was found, which is suggested for further research.
