Journal Article
Hennessy, S., Twigger, D., Driver, R., O'Shea, T., O'Malley, C., Byard, M., …Scanlon, E. (1995). Design of a computer‐augmented curriculum for mechanics. International Journal of Science Education, 17(1), 75-92. https://doi.org/10.1080/0950069950170106

This paper describes the design and development of a set of teaching materials for the teaching of a topic on mechanics (as part of the research carried out for the ‘Conceptual Change in Science’ project). The ‘curriculum’ comprises a series of inter... Read More about Design of a computer‐augmented curriculum for mechanics.

On Becoming a Tutor: Toward an Ontogenetic Model (1995)
Journal Article
Wood, D., Wood, H., Ainsworth, S., & O'Malley, C. (1995). On Becoming a Tutor: Toward an Ontogenetic Model. Cognition and Instruction, 13(4), 565-581. https://doi.org/10.1207/s1532690xci1304_7

Eight pairs of girls and 8 pairs of boys at each of three age groups (3, 5, and 7 years) took part in a three-phase investigation. One child in each pair was taught how to assemble a construction task by a computer-assisted tutoring system. That chil... Read More about On Becoming a Tutor: Toward an Ontogenetic Model.

A classroom intervention using a computer-augmented curriculum for mechanics (1995)
Journal Article
Hennessy, S., Twigger, D., Driver, R., O'Shea, T., O'Malley, C., Byard, S., …Scanlon, E. (1995). A classroom intervention using a computer-augmented curriculum for mechanics. International Journal of Science Education, 17(2), 189-209. https://doi.org/10.1080/0950069950170204

A set of teaching materials was developed for the teaching of mechanics, as part of the research carried out for the ‘Conceptual Change in Science’ project. These incorporated a series of interactive computer simulations, associated written materials... Read More about A classroom intervention using a computer-augmented curriculum for mechanics.

Facial identity and facial speech processing: Familiar faces and voices in the McGurk effect (1995)
Journal Article
Walker, S., Bruce, V., & O'Malley, C. (1995). Facial identity and facial speech processing: Familiar faces and voices in the McGurk effect. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 57(8), 1124-1133. https://doi.org/10.3758/bf03208369

An experiment was conducted to investigate the claims made by Bruce and Young (1986) for the independence of facial identity and facial speech processing. A well-reported phenomenon in audiovisual speech perception—theMcGurk effect (McGurk & MacDonal...
