Processing and Memory of Color, Contour, and Pattern Found in Computer Digitized Color Pictures for Elementary Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marschalek, Douglas G. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes study of children in grades one, three, and five that examined their active processing and short term memory (STM) of color, contour, and interior pattern of shapes found in computer digitized pictures. Age-related differences are examined, and the role of processing visual information in the learning process is discussed. (12…

The Effect of Graphic Feedback on Student Motivation.
Surber, John R.; Leeder, Jo Ann – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Describes study of fourth and fifth grade students which explained the effect of graphics on student motivation in a microcomputer-based spelling drill program. The role of feedback in instruction is discussed, the impact of graphics on computer software is described, and results are analyzed. (4 references) (LRW)

A Review of STATGRAPHICS.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, Jacob; Lee, Robert S. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
STATGRAPHICS, a statistical package written for the IBM PC/XT/AT, is reviewed. In addition to superb graphics, STATGRAPHICS is unequalled in time series procedures, quality control, linear programming, and other mathematical procedures. The modules for regression analysis, categorical data analysis, and nonparametric analysis are good, but contain…

The Display of Color Graphics on Monochrome Monitors: A Concern for Designers and an Opportunity for Researchers.
Baker, Patti R.; And Others – 1986
A study was conducted to investigate the comprehensibility of microcomputer-generated color graphics that are displayed on monochromatic monitors. Subjects were 64 second, third, and fourth graders who were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. Children in the first treatment were asked to identify, on a monochrome monitor, a figure that was…

Effects of Microcomputer Display on a Perceptual/Cognitive Task.
Jonassen, David H. – 1986
The purpose of this study was to adapt the Hidden Figures Test (a measure of field dependence/independence) to microcomputer display and to assess its alternate form reliability when compared to a paper and pencil test. Participants included 58 undergraduate and graduate students (91.4% female) at a southeastern university who were fairly normal…

Selective Use of Animation and Feedback in Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Park, Ok-choon; Gittelman, Stuart S. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1992
Discussion of computer-based instruction and animation focuses on a study of undergraduates that investigated the effects of two computer-based instructional strategies, visual display and feedback type, on teaching how to troubleshoot electronic circuits. Time spent on various components of the program is also examined. (35 references) (LRW)

Designing Instructional Materials with Desktop Publishing Software: The Effect of White-Space Variations on Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Knupfer, Nancy Nelson; McIsaac, Marina Stock – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Discussion of the use of desktop publishing software to produce instructional materials highlights a study that used a wrap-around text format with variations in the amount of white space surrounding the graphic to investigate the effect of white space variations on the reading speed and comprehension of undergraduate students. (28 references)…
