Murtha, Judith Rush – 1983
The purpose of this study was to write a computer program that would not only output a color pattern weave to a cathode ray tube (CRT), but would also analyze a painted design and output a printed diagram that would show how to set up a loom in order to produce the woven design. The first of seven chapters describes the problem and the intent of…

Grabinger, R. Scott; Amedeo, Douglas – 1985
This study asked participants to rate models of computer-generated text on the perceived ease with which it could be read and studied. These ratings were submitted to a Q-mode factor analysis to identify the underlying criteria used when the reader/perceiver formed a judgment related to the "study-ability" of the text model. Subjects…

Friedman, Larry P. – 1984
Few methods have been tried and used to graphically represent more than two variables. This poster session showed a new method for representing three continuous variables on a single scatterplot using the THREEDE computer program. Two variables are represented as a normal bivariate distribution. The third variable is represented by a symbol, e.g.…

Little, Glenn A.; And Others – 1985
This report documents a computer-based gaming system for assessing recognition performance (RECOG). The game management system is programmed in a modular manner to: instruct the student on how to play the game, retrieve and display individual images, keep track of how well individuals play and provide them feedback, and link these components by…

Ward, Lawrence M.; Steiger, James A. – 1981
The basic hardware configuration of a network of up to 17 TRS-80 microcomputer systems (1 central, 16 peripheral) is described as implemented in the psychology department at the University of British Columbia. Such a system can serve several instructional functions (e.g., data generation for lab experiments, simulation of theories or experiments,…

Stenger, Anthony J.; And Others – 1981
This study suggests and identifies computer image generation (CIG) algorithms for visual simulation that improve the training effectiveness of CIG simulators and identifies areas of basic research in visual perception that are significant for improving CIG technology. The first phase of the project entailed observing three existing CIG simulators.…
