Beichner, Robert J. – 1990
Research indicates that the educational effectiveness of Microcomputer-Based Laboratories (MBL) may be due to the real time nature of the experience. This article describes a study where kinesthetic feedback was completely removed by giving students only visual replications of a motion situation. If simultaneity of perception is the important…

Rasmussen, Jeffrey Lee – Teaching of Psychology, 1996
Describes a multimedia program for teaching analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs. The program uses colorful images, brief animations, interactive tasks, and immediate feedback. It consists of 10 story problems that tests students' understanding of independent groups and repeated measures variables. Provides information about availability. (MJP)

Nakhleh, Mary B.; Krajcik, Joseph S. – 1991
Within high school chemistry the topic of acids, bases, and pH is particularly challenging because robust understanding of the topic depends heavily on the student possessing deep concepts of atoms, molecules, ions, and chemical reactions. Since knowledge is acquired and stored in a dynamic structure, it was investigated in this study how…
