Abstract
This chapter summarizes results and findings from the 102 studies of ID practices. It is organized by the three main categories of studies: (a) ID professionals, (b) ID students, and (c) ID expert-novice differences. Each of these main sections is organized by the relevant guiding questions. When possible, consolidation of findings from more than one study is exemplified to offer further insights into these studies of ID practices.
