Fiorella, Logan; van Gog, Tamara; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
The present study tests whether presenting video modeling examples from the learner's (first-person) perspective promotes learning of an assembly task, compared to presenting video examples from a third-person perspective. Across 2 experiments conducted in different labs, university students viewed a video showing how to assemble an 8-component…

Muldner, Kasia; Lam, Rachel; Chi, Michelene T. H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
A promising instructional approach corresponds to" learning by observing others learn" (i.e., by watching tutorial dialogue between a tutor and tutee). However, more work is needed to understand this approach's pedagogical utility. Thus, in 2 experiments we compared student learning from collaborative observation of dialogue with 2 other…

Braaksma, Martine A. H.; Rijlaarsdam, Gert; van den Bergh, Huub – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2002
This study examined the effects of similarity in competence between model and observer on the effectiveness of observational learning in argumentative writing. Results are consistent with the similarity hypothesis: weak learners learn more from focusing their observations on weak models, whereas better learners learn more from focusing on good…

Zimmerman, Barry J.; Jaffe, Arnold – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Six-and eight-year olds were exposed to a modeling sequence for cluster rule learning under high, medium, and low degrees of structure. Age differences in vicarious learning emerged only in the medium structure condition, while immediately imitating a model failed to influence learning for either age group. (Author/CP)
