“…Recent research on cognitive style in computer-mediated environments has prompted new interest in the construct. Cognitive style has been related to computer usage (Jih & Reeves, 1992), user satisfaction (Reeves & Nass, 1996), access to information databases (Tan & Lo, 1991), attention to information (Greco & McClung, 1979) and learning programs (Chamillard & Karolick, 1999), spatial cognitive skills (Gagnon, 1986;McClurg & Chaille, 1987), and mathematics (Dugdale, 1994). However, as is true of the cognitive style literature in general, studies vary considerably in quality of research design, and hence in the confidence with which conclusions may be drawn from them.…”
