Foundations of Game-Based Learning (2015, unknown): “Among these approaches, two are particularly prominent: a cognitive perspective (Blumberg, 2011; Fletcher & Tobias, 2005; Mayer, 2005; Shute, Ventura, & Ke, 2014; Spence & Feng, 2009) and a sociocultural perspective (De Freitas, Rebolledo-Mendez, Liarokapis, Magoulas, & Poulovassilis, 2010;…”
What recent research on diagrams suggests about learning with rather than learning from visual representations in science (2016, background): “The multimedia principle states that learning can be enhanced when information is presented in two forms, particularly when pictures are added to words in a coherent fashion (Fletcher & Tobias, 2005; Mayer, 2001).”
Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction (2011, background): “In the laboratory, the less burdened the learner’s autonomic system, the faster the reaction time and the greater degree of automaticity, reflecting Gentile’s (1972) third stage of automatic performance.”
Learning with desktop virtual reality: Low spatial ability learners are more positively affected (2014, background): “T Aptitude-by-treatment interaction (ATI) research refers to the concept that instructional strategies are more effective when they are adapted to the specific abilities and/or attributes of the learners (Fletcher & Tobias, 2005, p. 130; Plass, Kalyuga, & Leutner, 2010).”
Cognitive Load and Working Memory in Multimedia Learning: Conceptual and Measurement Issues (2019, background): “In one sense, this is somewhat surprising because working memory and cognitive load theory are by nature highly related (de Jong, 2010). Indeed, the idea of using research about human cognitive architecture to design instruction that facilitates learning despite the limited capacity of our working m”
Interactive Multimodal Learning Environments (2007, background): “…presentations, especially those that combine words and pictorial representations of knowledge, because according to the multimedia principle, student understanding can be enhanced by the addition of non-verbal knowledge representations to verbal explanations (Fletcher and Tobias 2005; Mayer 2001).”
Revising the Redundancy Principle in Multimedia Learning. (2008, unknown): “…how lightning storms develop or how a car’s braking system works to students who lack relevant prior knowledge, so you design a concise, narrated animation using the following research-based principles of effective instructional design (Fletcher & Tobias, 2005; Mayer, 2001, 2005b, 2005c, 2005d): 1.”
