TLDR
This work performs a literature review to find out how researchers have already applied word-sized representations for reporting empirical and bibliographic data and calls the visualization community to be a pioneer in exploring new visualization-enriched and interactive publication formats.Abstract:
Generating visualizations at the size of a word creates dense information representations often called sparklines . The integration of word-sized graphics into text could avoid additional cognitive load caused by splitting the readers’ attention between figures and text. In scientific publications, these graphics make statements easier to understand and verify because additional quantitative information is available where needed. In this work, we perform a literature review to find out how researchers have already applied such word-sized representations. Illustrating the versatility of the approach, we leverage these representations for reporting empirical and bibliographic data in three application examples. For interactive Web-based publications, we explore levels of interactivity and discuss interaction patterns to link visualization and text. We finally call the visualization community to be a pioneer in exploring new visualization-enriched and interactive publication formats.read more

Cognitive Architecture and Instructional Design
TL;DR: Cognitive load theory has been designed to provide guidelines intended to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimize intellectual performance as discussed by the authors, which assumes a limited capacity working memory that includes partially independent subcomponents to deal with auditory/verbal material and visual/2- or 3-dimensional information as well as an effectively unlimited long-term memory, holding schemas that vary in their degree of automation.

Implications of cognitive load theory for multimedia learning
Fred Paas,John Sweller +1 more
TL;DR: Cognitive load theory has been one of the theories used to integrate knowledge of human cognitive structures and instructional design principles and its general implications for multimedia learning, specifically, words presented in spoken or written form along with pictures or diagrams are concerned.

The Split-Attention Principle in Multimedia Learning
Paul Ayres,John Sweller +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presented an integrated model of text and picture comprehension (ITPC model) that takes into account that learners can use multiple sensory modalities combined with different forms of representation, and provided a framework for the analysis of learning from multiple representations including spoken or written text, visual pictures, and sound pictures.
