Rosenfeld, Paul; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1991
A study of employed undergraduate management students was conducted to determine whether responses on computerized surveys are more candid than those on paper-and-pencil scales. Subjects were given either a paper-and-pencil or a computer version of the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) and the Self-Monitoring Scale to measure job satisfaction. (43…

Applegate, Brooks – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1993
Describes a study that was conducted to explore how kindergarten and second-grade students are able to structure and solve geometric analogy problems in a computer-based test and to compare the results to a paper-and-pencil test format. Use of the Test of Analogical Reasoning in Children is described. (18 references) (LRW)

Press, Laurence – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Describes two classroom experiments that investigated the effects of using projected-display computers: the first compared teaching a course using a projected display with teaching the course in a computer lab; and the second compared using a computer and projected display with standard lectures. Effects on test scores are discussed. (three…

Morrison, John E.; Witmer, Bob G. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1983
This study developed and tested a computer-based job aid and compared soldiers' task performance using computer-based and conventional media to learn military procedures. Of the tasks taught via both methods, the computer-based aid produced more accurate performance of a simpler task, while no differences were observed for the more complicated…
