Master's Thesis: “Of mice and pen: effects of input device on different age groups performing goal oriented tasks” (PDF, 312k)
My thesis used a 2x2 mixed factorial design to determine if adults (12 younger and 12 older) using different devices (a mouse and a pen) were more or less successful performing a series of realistic tasks on a convertible tablet PC. A 5-page version was published in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
