Implications for the Design of Computer-Based Instruction Screens.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morrison, Gary R.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Summarizes the results of five studies dealing with screen design for computer-based instruction (CBI) and provides suggestions for their application as well as future directions for research. Chunking, text density, and screen density are discussed as variables in screen design, and current research is described. (33 references) (LRW)

The Impact of a Discontinuous Innovation: Outcomes Experienced by Owners of Home Computers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McQuarrie, Edward F. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Offers a framework for conceptualizing the events that follow adoption of innovation. Surveys of home users of microcomputers are described that examined three outcomes of adoption: (1) degree of usage; (2) satisfaction; and (3) attitude toward the technology. Variations in the outcomes are examined, and further research needs are suggested. (46…

CRT Text Layout: Perceptions of Viewers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

Computer Anxiety Correlates and What They Tell Us: A Literature Review.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Maurer, Matthew M. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Research suggests that computer anxiety and computer experience are related. Some relationship between age and gender and computer anxiety has been suggested but not sufficiently examined. Other relationships have been explored with little result, and little is known about mediating computer anxiety. A model of the development of computer anxiety…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moldafsky, Neil I; Kwon, Ik-Whan – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Reviews current literature about personal, demographic, situational, and cognitive attributes that affect computer-aided decision making. The effectiveness of computer-aided decision making is explored in relation to decision quality, effectiveness, and confidence. Studies of the effects of age, anxiety, cognitive type, attitude, gender, and prior…

Children's Control of Computer-Based Reading Assistance in Answering Synthesis Questions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gillingham, Mark G.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Describes study that was designed to investigate fifth graders' use of microcomputer-based reading assistance for science text comprehension. The three levels of assistance offered are described, the research software created for the project is explained, results are analyzed, and further research needs are suggested. (42 references) (LRW)
