Construction and interference in learning from multiple representation

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated view of learning from verbal and pictorial representations is presented, where learning from these representations is considered as a task oriented process of constructing multiple mental representations, including information selection and information organisation, parsing of symbol structures, mapping of analog structures as well as model construction and model inspection.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Reconsideration of Cognitive Load Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the conceptual distinctions between different kinds of cognitive load are analyzed by considering the zone of proximal development (ZoP) concept in cognitive load theory and implicit learning.
Book ChapterDOI

The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning: An Integrated Model of Text and Picture Comprehension

TL;DR: An integrated model of text and picture comprehension that takes into account that learners can use multiple sensory modalities is presented, which encompasses reading comprehension, listening comprehension, visual picture comprehension, and sound comprehension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commentary: Towards an Integrated View of Learning from Text and Visual Displays

TL;DR: Visuo-spatial text adjuncts such as static or animated pictures, geographic maps, thematic maps, graphs, and knowledge maps as mentioned in this paper provide complex pictorial information that complements the verbal information of texts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enabling, facilitating, and inhibiting effects of animations in multimedia learning: Why reduction of cognitive load can have negative results on learning

TL;DR: In two learning experiments with 40 and 26 university students, the effects of animated pictures on knowledge acquisition were investigated and showed that manipulation pictures had an enabling function for individuals with high learning prerequisites, whereas simulation pictures had a facilitating function forindividuals with low learningPrerequisites.
