I am involved with a new project here at CMU that will
examine scientific theory formation and testing in an
underdeveloped branch of synthetic chemistry.  The first
stage involves both experiment planning and modification 
to a current qualitative theory based on the experimental
result.

We are very interested in first becoming acquainted with 
any cognitive-psychological study of chemical reasoning,
preferably that of chemists rather than novices.  Can any
reader point out some references to such work?  Thank you.
