Animation as a Distractor to Learning.

Rieber, Lloyd P.

International Journal of Instructional Media, v23 n1 p53-57 1996

A study of 364 fifth graders investigated distractibility of animated graphics in a computer-based tutorial about Newton's Laws of Motion. Found no difference in post-test performance for those with high, medium, or no distraction graphics. Students in the two distraction conditions took less time to process instructional frames than students in the no distraction condition. (Author/PEN)
