Descriptive Models in Learning Command Languages.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Simpson, Henry K.; Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1993
The effects of 2 different kinds of descriptive models (metaphor and flow chart) on the learning of a computer command language were studied for 37 computer experienced and 47 nonexperienced undergraduates (57 females and 27 males). Results show that metaphor improves performance of most subjects on most transfer items, with inexperienced subjects…
