Learning performance and attitudes as a function of the reading grade level of a computer-presented tutorial
Joan M. Roemer, A. Chapanis · 1982
The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate level of language sophistication, or “readability” of the text of a computer-presented tutorial. The tutorial teaches first-time users how to operate a display terminal. The effects of readability on performance and attitudes of adults with different levels of reading ability were examined.
