Television Is "Easy" and Print Is "Tough": The Differences Investment of Mental Effort in Learning as a Function of Perceptions and Attributions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Salomon, Gavriel – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
Sixth graders (n=124) were tested for their perceptions of self-efficacy with print and TV, perceived media realism, and attributions of failure and success with each medium. The amount of invested mental effort (AIME) and achievement were measured. The roles of a priori perceptions and AIME in learning are discussed. (Author/BS)
