Relationship Between Eye Movement and Cognitive Information Acquisition Utilizing an Unobtrusive Eye Movement Monitoring Device.
Nesbit, Larry L. – 1981
A research study was designed to test the relationship between the number of eye fixations and amount of learning as determined by a criterion referenced posttest. The study sought to answer the following questions: (1) Are differences in eye movement indices related to the posttest score? (2) Do differences in eye movement indices of subjects…

Perception in a Psycholinguistic Model of the Reading Process. A Research Report. Program in Language and Literacy Occasional Paper No. 11.
Woodley, John W. – 1984
To gain a better understanding of visual perception in reading, a study tested the predictive validity of the Goodman Model of Reading by measuring the extent to which 82 college students (graduate and undergraduate) were able to perceive and accurately report 10 lines of print. It also attempted to integrate research conducted over the past 100…

Cognitive Style Factors and Learning from Micro-Computer Based and Programmed Instructional Materials: A Preliminary Analysis.
Canelos, James; And Others – 1988
This study examined the effects of two cognitive styles--field dependents-independents and reflectivity-impulsivity--on learning from microcomputer-based instruction. In the first of three experimental designs, a programmed instruction text on the human heart was used which contained both visual and verbal information in an instructional display,…

A Multifactor Analysis of the Instructional Effect of Type of Instruction, Testing, Recall and Order of Testing.
De Melo, Hermes Teixeria; Dwyer, Francis M. – 1982
This study investigated the effects of (1) verbal instruction alone vs. verbal instruction complemented by simple line drawings; (2) visual testing vs. nonvisual testing; (3) verbal cueing vs. free recall on achievement; and (4) order of testing on subsequent achievement. Interactions among type of instruction, type of testing, and order of…

Effect of Depth of Information Processing on Students' Ability to Acquire and Retrieve Information Related to Different Instructional Objectives.
Dwyer, Carol A.; Dwyer, Francis M. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1987
Reviews study of undergraduates which evaluated the effects that variations in depth of information processing have on students' memory systems in terms of their ability to acquire and retrieve information related to different types of instructional objectives. The effect of visual versus verbal testing of visualized instruction is also examined.…
