Abstract
This symposium raises the issue of the role of domain-general factors in scientific reasoning and argumentation tasks. The contributions cover conceptual problems concerning the interplay of general and specific elements in scientific reasoning, methodological requirements and existing research paradigms for investigating the role of cross-domain factors in scientific reasoning and argumentation tasks, limitations of domain-general epistemic criteria in the context of evaluating competing explanations and evidence, and experimental evidence exploring the limits of domain-generality in the context of interventions designed to foster scientific reasoning. The symposium includes a technologysupported interactive discussion with the audience.
