Powell, Martine B.; Wilson, J. Clare; Thomson, Donald M. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2002
Describes a study that investigated the usefulness of an interactive computer program in eliciting children's reports about an event. Compared results of interviews by computer with interviews with humans with children aged five through eight that showed little benefit in computers over face-to-face interviews. (Author/LRW)

Fiore, Stephen M.; Cuevas, Haydee M.; Oser, Randall L. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2003
Describes a study of undergraduates that investigated the influence of training format on knowledge structure development and how differing knowledge structure measurement techniques can be used to best assess training effectiveness. Manipulated the presence of diagrams in a computer-based training tutorial to assess mental model development and…

Veenman, M. V. J.; Prins, F. J.; Elshout, J. J. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2002
Discusses conceptual knowledge acquisition using computer simulation and describes a study of undergraduates that examined the role of metacognitive skillfulness and intellectual ability during initial inductive learning with a complex computer simulation. Results showed that metacognitive skillfulness was positively related to learning behavior…

Hannafin, Michael J.; Hooper, Simon – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Discusses the importance of screen design in computer-based instruction (CBI), and presents a framework for screen design decisions based on the ROPES (Retrieving, Orienting, Presenting, Encoding, and Sequencing) meta-model for instructional design. Psychological, instructional, and technological foundations of screen design are discussed, and…

Park, Ok-choon – Computers in Human Behavior, 1992
Defines hypermedia and describes the structure and functional requirements of a hypermedia program. Potentials of hypermedia for instructional delivery, idea generation and organization, file storage and organization, and development of computer-based instruction materials are discussed. Several research issues related to instructional…

Grabinger, R. Scott; Amedeo, Douglas – Computers in Human Behavior, 1988
Discussion of screen layout design for computer assisted instruction focuses on the perceptions of the viewers. Combinations of text format design variables that facilitate specific learning processes are investigated; evaluative criteria for text displays are discussed; individual and group perceptions are analyzed; and future research topics are…

Ramberg, Robert – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
Discussion of explanations and knowledge representation within knowledge-based systems focuses on the development of an expert system for purification of proteins in a Swedish laboratory. Topics include domain conceptualization; a multiple-explanation construction model; a study of laboratory staff that investigated construed explanations; and…

Reed, W. Michael; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1995
Describes a study that compared three graduate level hypermedia courses and investigated whether a certain sequence or specific content might affect students' attitudes toward hypermedia. Authorware-based courses are compared with HyperCard-based courses, and the use of the Stages of Concern Questionnaire is discussed. (LRW)

Skinner, Michael E. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1990
Describes a study that was designed to demonstrate the effects of computer-based instruction (CBI) on undergraduates' achievement based on achievement status and mode of presentation. Treatments for experimental and control groups are explained, the alternating treatments design (ATD) methodology is discussed, and the personalized system of…

Hooper, Simon – Computers in Human Behavior, 2003
Compared the effects of grouping sixth grade students with different levels of persistence on their ability to learn in cooperative learning groups while working at the computer. Reports results that indicated that average persisters interacted more than either high or low persisters and discusses implications for forming effective cooperative…

Katz, Yaacov J.; Francis, Leslie J. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1995
Discussion of teacher attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI) highlights a study that examined the relationship between Eysenck's personality factors (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism), religiosity, and attitudes toward CAI in a sample of 190 female teacher trainees at Bar-Ilan University (Israel). (36 references)…

Oughton, J. M.; Reed, W. M. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1999
Focuses on three students engaged in a group task to develop a concept map on hypermedia-related concepts. Examines how each of the students--grouped together based on their learning style and cognitive control differences--influenced construction of the group concept map. Concludes that the "Assimilator/Field-Independent" student was the most…
