ABSTRACT

In regard to psychologists’ use of computers for instruction, interest is growing and resistance is diminishing (Butler, 1986). Bare (1982), Goolkasian (1985), and Hovancik (1986) described innovative uses for microcomputers in undergraduate laboratory courses. All three articles described the use of computers for data collection and analysis. Only Goolkasian discussed using the computer for instruction, although there are other uses for computers in teaching, such as computer-assisted instruction, modeling, and simulation (e.g., Atnip, 1985; Collyer, 1984).
