Paper presented at American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting, 2011, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Whilst mixed method research is not universally accepted as an appropriate research choice (and in certain situations it is, self evidently, an inappropriate choice), mixed inquiry is now widely embedded in and accepted by many disciplines. Indeed, i...

The significance of volcanic ash fall for Earth’s glaciers (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hobbs, L., Gilbert, J., & Lane, S. (2011, January). The significance of volcanic ash fall for Earth’s glaciers. Poster presented at Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group Conference, Cambridge, UK

Worldwide glacier mass changes are key indicators of global climatic change [1]. The effect of volcanic air fall, which may enhance or hinder ablation depending primarily on deposit thickness, is a potentially important driver of glacial change. Belo...

Designing interfaces that encourage a more effortful cognitive strategy (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Morgan, P., & Patrick, J. (2010, October). Designing interfaces that encourage a more effortful cognitive strategy. Paper presented at 54th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, San Francisco, California, USA

Typically, interface design attempts to minimize cognitive load by providing immediately accessible task-relevant information. However, this may have the unintended consequence of encouraging display-based strategies that minimize the degree of cogni...
