This paper examines the transferability of successful cueing approaches from text and static
visualization research to animations. Theories of visual attention and learning as well as …

Research has shown that guiding learners' attention in animations by cueing does not
necessarily improve conceptual understanding. This study investigated whether the number …

The time course of learners' processing of a complex animation was studied using a
dynamic diagram of a piano mechanism. Over successive repetitions of the material, two …

Two experiments used eye tracking to investigate a novel cueing approach for directing
learner attention to low salience, high relevance aspects of a complex animation. In the first …

The question how animations should be designed so that learning is optimised, is still under
discussion. Animations are often cognitively very demanding, resulting in decreased …

Prospective teachers learned about seven teaching skills either with or without (control
group) an exemplar classroom video (Experiment 1) or animation (Experiment 2) showing …

Animations are increasingly used in technology-based learning resources because of their
assumed superiority over static graphics. However, empirical research has failed to provide …

The effectiveness of animations containing two novel forms of animation cueing that target
relations between event units rather than individual entities was compared with that of …

This study investigated the effectiveness of three different levels of enhancement strategies
utilized to facilitate students' learning from static and animated visualization when taking the …

With the proliferation of illustrations in instructional materials, it becomes increasingly
important to investigate their effects on student learning. The use of illustrations in …
