An Assessment of Two Computerized Vocabulary Games Reveals that Players Improve as a Result of Review.
Benne, Marcie R.; Baxter, Kathy K.
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v18 n3 p245-58 1998
This assessment of two computerized vocabulary games addressed three issues: (1) did undergraduate students' scores improve when they reviewed the meanings of words?; (2) did students improve their ability to determine the meaning of new words?; and (3) did students with low verbal skills demonstrate greater improvement than students with high verbal skills?
