Cueing Animations: Dynamic Signaling Aids Information Extraction and Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Boucheix, Jean-Michel; Lowe, Richard K.; Putri, Dian K.; Groff, Jonathan – Learning and Instruction, 2013
The effectiveness of animations containing two novel forms of animation cueing that target relations between event units rather than individual entities was compared with that of animations containing conventional entity-based cueing or no cues. These relational event unit cues ("progressive path" and "local coordinated" cues) were specifically…

Overconfidence Produces Underachievement: Inaccurate Self Evaluations Undermine Students' Learning and Retention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Dunlosky, John; Rawson, Katherine A. – Learning and Instruction, 2012
The function of accurately monitoring one's own learning is to support effective control of study that enhances learning. Although this link between monitoring accuracy and learning is intuitively plausible and is assumed by general theories of self-regulated learning, it has not received a great deal of empirical scrutiny and no study to date has…

Cueing Complex Animations: Does Direction of Attention Foster Learning Processes?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lowe, Richard; Boucheix, Jean-Michel – Learning and Instruction, 2011
The time course of learners' processing of a complex animation was studied using a dynamic diagram of a piano mechanism. Over successive repetitions of the material, two forms of cueing (standard colour cueing and anti-cueing) were administered either before or during the animated segment of the presentation. An uncued group and two other control…

An Eye Tracking Comparison of External Pointing Cues and Internal Continuous Cues in Learning with Complex Animations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Boucheix, Jean-Michel; Lowe, Richard K. – Learning and Instruction, 2010
Two experiments used eye tracking to investigate a novel cueing approach for directing learner attention to low salience, high relevance aspects of a complex animation. In the first experiment, comprehension of a piano mechanism animation containing spreading-colour cues was compared with comprehension obtained with arrow cues or no cues. Eye…

Attention Guidance in Learning from a Complex Animation: Seeing Is Understanding?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
de Koning, Bjorn B.; Tabbers, Huib K.; Rikers, Remy M. J. P.; Paas, Fred – Learning and Instruction, 2010
To examine how visual attentional resources are allocated when learning from a complex animation about the cardiovascular system, eye movements were registered in the absence and presence of visual cues. Cognitive processing was assessed using cued retrospective reporting, whereas comprehension and transfer tests measured the quality of the…

Attention Guiding in Multimedia Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Jamet, Eric; Gavota, Monica; Quaireau, Christophe – Learning and Instruction, 2008
Comprehension of an illustrated document can involve complex visual scanning in order to locate the relevant information on the screen when this is evoked in spoken explanations. The present study examined the effects of two types of attention-guiding means (color change or step-by-step presentation of diagram elements synchronized with a spoken…
