Kin,
I and my colleague have written a couple of reviews of that body of
research, notably:
Clements, D. H., & Meredith, J. S. (1993). Research on Logo: Effects and
efficacy. Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, 4, 263-290.
Clements, D. H., & Meredith, J. S. (1993). Design of a research-based Logo
environment for elementary geometry. In N. Estes & M. Thomas (Eds.),
Rethinking the roles of technology in education, (Vol. 1, pp. 679-681).
Cambridge, MA: Massachuseets Institute of Technology.
Clements, D. H., & Meredith, J. S. (1993). My turn: A talk with the Logo
turtle. Arithmetic Teacher, 41, 189-191.
Clements, D. H., & Battista, M. T. (1992). Geometry and spatial reasoning.
In D. A. Grouws (Ed.), Handbook of research on mathematics teaching and
learning, (pp. 420-464). New York: Macmillan.
Clements, D. H., Nastasi, B. K., & Swaminathan, S. (1993). Young children
and computers: Crossroads and directions from research. Young Children,
48(2), 56-64.
For historical comparison:
Clements, D. H. (1985). Research on Logo in education: Is the turtle
slow but steady, or not even in the race? Computers in the Schools, 2,
55-71.
Plus, Julie Sarama (previously Meredith) and I write a once-an-issue column
in the Logo Exchange magazine that reviews research. That column, still
going (strong? maybe not... ;> ) since 1986, has reviewed hundreds of
studies.
Clements, D. H. (1986-96). Logo: Search and research [research review
column]. Logo Exchange.

efficacy. New York: Logo Foundation.
