The results of qualitative and quantitative investigations conducted with individuals who learned algorithms in school are presented in this article. In these investigations, eye-tracking technology was used to follow the process of solving algorithmic problems. The algorithmic problems were presented in two comparable variants: in a pseudocode…

This study examined relationships between reading comprehension, known predictors of reading comprehension (i.e., cognitive flexibility, fluency, reading motivation and attitude, vocabulary), and graphical device comprehension. One-hundred fifty-six third graders completed assessments of known predictor variables and an assessment tapping…

In physics teacher education, two central goals are first to learn the structures of physics knowledge, and second the processes of its construction. To know the structure is to know the framework of concepts and laws; to know the processes is to know where the knowledge comes from, how the framework is constructed, and how it can be justified.…

This study investigated the effects of visual cues in multiple external representations (MER) environment on the learning performance of novices' program comprehension. Program codes and flowchart diagrams were used as dual representations in multimedia environment to deliver lessons on C-Programming. 17 field independent participants and 16 field…

The present study utilized complex visual stimuli to investigate possible mechanisms for temporal coding because such stimuli seemed to provide a close analogue of events in daily life. (Author)

The primary purpose of this article is to describe, justify, and elaborate a preliminary quantitative model for a subset of the letter-identification process. (Author)

It has been proposed that the ability of a visual noise mask to stop processing of a target stimulus under backward-masking conditions be gauged by its ability to obscure the target when both stimuli are viewed simultaneously. Authors assessed the usefulness of this proposal. (Editor/RK)

The present experiment was designed to investigate the influence of label training on the reporduction-recall of visual stimuli and follows in the tradition of the Gestalt memory-for-form literature. (Author)

Examines auditory speech discrimination under the conditions of normal, inverted, and postinverted vision. Its intention was also to further study the generality of the effects of inversion-induced conflict. (Author/RK)

This study investigated the physiological responses to affective visual and auditory stimuli with eye-blink rate (EBR) as the physiological indicator and examined the relationship between this response and subjective anxiety-level ratings by means of Zuckerman and Lubin's Multiple Affect Adjective Check-list (MACCL). (Author)

Three experiments further explored the Avant, Lyman, and Antes finding that, during prerecognition processing, differences in subjects' familiarity with letters, words, and nonwords generate differences in the apparent duration of tachistoscopic flashes. (Editor)

To investigate human visual identification of different-sized objects as identically shaped, matching reaction times were measured for pairs of simultaneously presented random figures. (Editor)

Four experiments examined the effect of label training on redintegrative memory for novel shapes (remembering the whole shape when only a part is presented). (Editor)

Eighty-six adults serially recalled lists of visually presented consonant letters similar in auditory or visual features or dissimilar on both feature sets. There were significantly more errors at every auditory list position than at the corresponding visual and neutral list positions, which did not themselves differ. Positive correlation exists…
