Peer reviewedRieber, Lloyd P. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1996
A study of 364 fifth graders investigated distractibility of animated graphics in a computer-based tutorial about Newton's Laws of Motion. Found no difference in post-test performance for those with high, medium, or no distraction graphics. Students in the two distraction conditions took less time to process instructional frames than students in…

Rieber, Lloyd P. – 1990
This study examined the effects of animated presentations on intentional and incidental learning and the degree to which computer practice activities contained intrinsically motivating characteristics as measured by continuing motivation. A total of 70 fourth graders participated in an introductory lesson on Newton's laws of motion. Two levels of…

Peer reviewedRieber, Lloyd P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
Effects of animated presentations and practice were studied in a computer-based science lesson involving 55 fourth graders and 64 fifth graders. Results suggest that animated graphics can promote learning, and they demonstrate successful application of interactive graphics in the design of cognitively based practice activities. (SLD)
