This study explores how learner expertise influences the activation of prior knowledge to self-construct learning and reinforce external representations. The research involves high school and higher education students, with factors such as note taking, level of prior knowledge, and activation strategies. Results aim to shed light on optimizing learning processes through prior knowledge activation.
