The Use and Acquisition of Artificial Language: Some Insights from Psycholinguistics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bos, Edwin – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
This article compares cognitive processing between natural and artificial language (AL) use and utilizes psycholinguistics for building a cognitive model of the AL user. Discussion covers observations concerning common ground, optimal design, collaborative processes, generalization, and incremental parallel production. Inquiries like this may lead…

Gender Interest Differences with Multimedia Learning Interfaces.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Passig, David; Levin, Haya – Computers in Human Behavior, 1999
This study of 90 kindergarten children examined gender differences in learning interest from different designs of multimedia interfaces. Results indicate a significant difference between boys and girls in the influence of the design of interactive multimedia stories on time on task and on level of satisfaction with the interfaces.

The Electronic Mirror: Human-Computer Interaction and Change in Self-Appraisals.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
De Laere, Kevin H.; Lundgren, David C.; Howe, Steven R. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1998
Compares humanlike versus machinelike interactional styles of computer interfaces, testing hypotheses that evaluative feedback conveyed through a humanlike interface will have greater impact on individuals' self-appraisals. Reflected appraisals were more influenced by computer feedback than were self-appraisals. Humanlike and machinelike interface…

Yadrick, Robert M.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
In an experiment designed to dissociate the effects of instructional approach and system interface on learning in computer-based instruction, 18- to 30-year-old high school graduates with low mathematics ability were tested before and after completing three mathematics practice modules. Found that low ability students may not learn from computers…
