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)

Assessing Functional Effectiveness of Pictorial Representations Used in Text.
Hurt, Jeffry A. – Educational Communication and Technology Journal, 1987
Describes study of undergraduates conducted to test the effectiveness of illustrations in texts, based on two hypotheses concerned with the differences between analogical and literal illustrations in serving two specific instructional functions and ways in which male and female students utilize illustrations. Results are analyzed, and…

Effect of Depth of Information Processing on Students' Ability to Acquire and Retrieve Information Related to Different Instructional Objectives.
Dwyer, Carol A.; Dwyer, Francis M. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1987
Reviews study of undergraduates which evaluated the effects that variations in depth of information processing have on students' memory systems in terms of their ability to acquire and retrieve information related to different types of instructional objectives. The effect of visual versus verbal testing of visualized instruction is also examined.…

Test Development for Visualized Learning Environments and the Relevance of the Psychological Variable Encoding Specificity.
Canelos, James; And Others – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1986
Describes the third in a series of studies investigating effects of psychological variable of encoding specificity on cognitive learning, test design, and visualization during instruction and testing. Encoding specificity, its application to classroom learning and testing, and its significance to educational technology are explained. The first two…

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…
