This meta-analytical review focuses on the role of spatial ability when learning with pictorial
visualizations. By means of selective theoretical review and meta-analysis (the latter …

In a systematic review, 194 studies on learning from animation were analysed. The analysis
covers the learning domains, the representational characteristics of the animations, the …

This meta-analysis investigated whether animation is beneficial overall for learning
compared to static graphics, while also identifying moderator factors affecting the global …

This study was conducted in order to examine the differences between visualizers and
verbalizers in the way they gaze at pictures and texts while learning. Using a collection of …

In two experiments, the role of spatial ability in learning from an instructional animation
versus a series of static pictures was studied. In both experiments, a statistical interaction of …

Dynamic visualisations capture aspects of scientific phenomena that are difficult to
communicate in static materials and benefit from well-designed scaffolds to succeed in …

Studies comparing the instructional effectiveness of dynamic versus static visualizations
have produced mixed results. In this work, we investigated whether gender imbalance in the …

Dynamic visualizations have the potential to make abstract scientific phenomena more
accessible and visible to students, but they can also be confusing and difficult to …

Visualizations are an increasingly important part of scientific education and discovery.
However, users often do not gain knowledge from them in a complete or efficient way. This …

Although whiteboard animations are increasingly used for educational purposes, there is
little empirical evidence as to why such animations can enhance learning. To specify …
