Ponce, Héctor R.; Mayer, Richard E.; Sitthiworachart, Jirarat; López, Mario J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The transition from paper-based tests to corresponding computer-administered tests allows for the incorporation of improved interfaces that support response making. The main research question is whether innovative interfaces affect test response time and/or response accuracy. This study compared performance on banked cloze tests using a…

Wu, Charley M.; Meder, Björn; Filimon, Flavia; Nelson, Jonathan D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
While the influence of presentation formats have been widely studied in Bayesian reasoning tasks, we present the first systematic investigation of how presentation formats influence information search decisions. Four experiments were conducted across different probabilistic environments, where subjects (N = 2,858) chose between 2 possible search…
