Acknowledgements Including acknowledgements in a minimal manual is inconceivable. Excluding them from this thesis would be just as inconceivable, for it would wrong all those who have directly or indirectly contributed to its realization. I therefore would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has assisted and encouraged me during the past four years. In particular, I would like to mention the following people. First of all, my supervisor Sanne Dijkstra, who has created a scientific environment in which I could carry out this project according to my own insights. I am greatly indebted to Hans van der Meij, my assistant-supervisor. Without his intellectual stimulation, his constructive remarks (as well as the corrective ones) and his unremitting enthusiasm this thesis would not have come about. I gratefully acknowledge the help of Jules Pieters and Jeroen van Merriënboer. They were always willing to discuss my work and were kind enough to read and comment upon the articles that underlie this thesis. I wish to thank John Carroll, for his inspiring ideas on designing computer documentation and for his valuable comments on the first draft of this thesis. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who have assisted me in designing and conducting the experiments. I particularly would like to thank Pieter van der Poort and Maria Driessen, who critically reviewed the first version of the manuals; Vincent Oude Griep for designing and adapting the registration program that was used in the experiments; Christine Apperloo, Tim Remmers, Yvonne de Thouars and Ingrid Zemmelink, who advised and assisted me during the experimental sessions; and, again, Tim Remmers for developing the ERR-system that was used in the third and fourth experiment. In preparing the final version of the text, I gratefully acknowledged the linguistic corrections of Afineke de Vries. I would also like to thank Pauline Teppich for her suggestions on the styling of the manuscript − and for constantly reminding me to "work hard". Throughout the project, I truly appreciated the moral support of my roommate Jelke van der Pal. I have benefited a great deal from our discussions and I will remember our loose talks with pleasure; they made my stay at the department of Instructional Technology a pleasant one. v
