In a 2 x 2 design, we examined the role of visual cognitive style in two multimedia-based learning environments (text plus static pictures/animations). A statistically significant interaction was obtained for deeper comprehension: Highly developed visualizers (HDV) who learned with static pictures performed better than HDV who learned with…

A study was conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of various techniques of accumulating and organizing images in multiple-screen, slide-tape presentations of geographical information. Identical stimulus materials were presented in five different ways from sequential presentation to accumulated presentation to programed accumulated…

A pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of multi-image audiovisual teaching showed this technique to have a definite advantage over conventional single-image audiovisual aids. The multi-image technique involved using two or more visual aids designed to interact with and to amplify each other. Experimental and control groups of college students…
