Peer reviewedLivingston, Lori A.; And Others – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Describes a study that was conducted to monitor the eye movement behaviors of microcomputer users working with an instructional game under varying color conditions. Eye movement is discussed; the computer software is explained; and implications of the results for further research and for courseware designers are suggested. (21 references) (LRW)
