Direct linkLee, Hyunjeong; Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
How can cognitive load in visual displays of computer simulations be optimized? Middle-school chemistry students (N = 257) learned with a simulation of the ideal gas law. Visual complexity was manipulated by separating the display of the simulations in two screens (low complexity) or presenting all information on one screen (high complexity). The…
