In Search of Instructional Utility: A Function-Based Approach to Pictorial Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brody, Philip J. – Instructional Science, 1984
Discusses previous pictorial research and its limited potential, and describes function-based research approach, which attempts to make findings relevant by identifying potential picture functions in terms of contributions to instructional processes and procedures broadly applicable to various objectives and strategies. Relevance of this approach…

A Systematic Assessment of the Effect of Visual Testing of Visualized Instruction: A Justification for Instructional Congruency.
Dwyer, Francis M.; De Melo, Hermes – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1984
This investigation evaluated performance of university students on visual and nonvisual versions of an achievement test. Two experimental designs assessed the effects and interactions between visual and nonvisual instructional modes, order of drawing test (before or after verbal/visual achievement test), and mode of drawing test (verbal cued or…

CRT Text Design: Psychological Attributes Underlying the Evaluation of Models of CRT Text Displays.
Grabinger, R. Scott – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1984
Describes methodology and results of a study examining the role of layout and graphic design in the legibility of instructional text displayed on cathode ray tubes. This report includes a multidimensional scaling analysis, an analysis of the stimuli and independent variables, and labeling and dimensions using adjective and interview data. (MBR)

The Effect of Rehearsal Method and Rehearsal Time on Students' Information Acquisition and Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dwyer, Carol A. – Journal of Instructional Psychology, 1986
A study of undergraduate students investigated whether different rehearsal strategies are more effective in facilitating achievement, whether certain rehearsal strategies require learners to spend more time interacting with instructional content, and whether verbal or visual testing requires students to spend more time processing and responding to…

External Pacing as an Instructional Strategy for the Design of Micro-Computer Based Instructional Programs to Improve Performance on Higher Level Instructional Objectives.
Canelos, James; And Others – 1985
Research was conducted to further investigate the results of an earlier 1985 study (Dwyer, et al.) which found that a moderately externally-paced microcomputer-based instructional program was more effective than either a self-paced or a more aggressive externally-paced condition. Instructional programs (heart parts and verbal labels) were…
