Physical and Cognitive Factors in Revising: Insights from Studies with Computers.

Daiute, Colette

Research in the Teaching of English, v20 n2 p141-59 May 1986

Contrasts the revising patterns of junior high school students when they used a word processor and pens and paper. Concludes that those who used a word processing program added more words to the ends of their texts and corrected more errors, but did not make more global text revisions than when they used a pen.
