Marschalek, Douglas G. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes study of children in grades one, three, and five that examined their active processing and short term memory (STM) of color, contour, and interior pattern of shapes found in computer digitized pictures. Age-related differences are examined, and the role of processing visual information in the learning process is discussed. (12…

Forsyth, Alfred S., Jr.; Lancy, David F. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1987
Compares the use of four different versions of a map by fourth and fifth grade students with a computerized adventure game which simulated an environmental exploration. Variables examined included type of map and student gender, ability to learn place location information while playing the game, and enjoyment of the game. (RP)

Mandinach, Ellen B.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1986
In this review of the research on how current computer learning environments can foster the acquisition of complex cognitive skills, two issues emerge: (1) what cognitive accomplishments are likely in the computer environment; and (2) what factors predispose students to benefit from the environment.
