Hypertext navigation: Nonlinearity of exploration and its correlates

This study focused on how to categorize, measure and describe hypertext navigation patterns with an emphasis on the measurement of nonlinearity of navigation and whether navigation patterns are related to individual differences in such things as verbal aptitude, prior knowledge, and epistemic beliefs and preferences. Also, this study examined the effects on navigation patterns of stage of practice of hypertext exploration, and the differences in navigation patterns between subjects who started off with a concept about hypertext and subjects who started off with a case (an example) of hypertext. Finally, it was hypothesized that differences in navigation pattern could result in differences in performance in learning outcomes.
