Using Desktop Virtual Environments To Investigate the Role of Landmarks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jansen-Osmann, Petra – Computers in Human Behavior, 2002
Discusses research in spatial cognition that uses computer-simulated three dimensional environments and evaluates the use of virtual desktop environments by replicating an experiment which was formerly done in a laboratory or real world setting. Investigates the role of landmarks when acquiring route knowledge in a system of paths. (Author/LRW)

Initial Inductive Learning in a Complex Computer Simulated Environment: The Role of Metacognitive Skills and Intellectual Ability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

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…
