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)

Powell, Martine B.; Wilson, J. Clare; Thomson, Donald M. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2002
Describes a study that investigated the usefulness of an interactive computer program in eliciting children's reports about an event. Compared results of interviews by computer with interviews with humans with children aged five through eight that showed little benefit in computers over face-to-face interviews. (Author/LRW)
