Chapter 4 in What Can Behavioral Economics Teach Us about Teaching Economics?, 2015, pp 46-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A collection of common reasoning errors found in the thinking of beginning students of economics is presented as a starting point for exploratory studies on errors that might hinder learning in economics. Connections are made to learning theories introduced in previous chapters, and to insights from behavioral economics wherever appropriate.
