The Effect of Attention Cueing on Science Text Learning

چکیده
The present study examines how different types of attention cueing and cognitive style affect learners’ comprehension of a cardiovascular system and cognitive load. In this study, the learners were randomly assigned into one of following groups: no-cueing, static-blood cueing, static-blood–static-arrow cueing, and dynamic-blood–dynamic-arrow cueing. The results showed that attention cueing yielded similar test results but helped reduce the learners’ cognitive load. No interaction effects between cognitive style and the experimental conditions on the learners’ total score and cognitive load were observed. Both highand low-visual learners gained equal benefits from attention cueing. However, one interaction effect in one subtest was observed implying that attention cueing can cause interference among high-visual learners. Contrary to the hypothesis, the presence of attention cueing did not enhance conceptual understanding.

Effects of Attention Cueing on Learning Speech Organ Operation through Mobile Phones
The studies regarding using a cross sectional view of speech organs enriched with attention cueing and written text to probe learners’ learning efficiency and behavior through mobile phones is scant. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the presence of attention cueing can benefit learners with different amounts of prior knowledge in learning operational functions of the speech orga...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Attention Cueing in Instructional Animations: Guidelines for Research and Design
This paper examines the transferability of successful cueing approaches from text and static visualization research to animations. Theories of visual attention and learning as well as empirical evidence for the instructional effectiveness of attention cueing are reviewed and, based on Mayer’s theory of multimedia learning, a framework was developed for classifying three functions for cueing: (1...
متن کاملThe Effects of Attention Cueing on Visualizers' Multimedia Learning
The present study examines how various types of attention cueing and cognitive preference affect learners’ comprehension of a cardiovascular system and cognitive load. EFL learners were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: non-signal, static-blood-signal, static-blood-static-arrow-signal, and animation-signal. The results indicated that attention cueing yielded similar performance but h...
متن کاملThe Effects of Visual Cueing Opacity Level on Reducing Split Attention
Using cues (attention directing cues) to guide students through using multimedia learning environments is vital as it reduces visual search and thus reducing the cognitive load on students’ working memory. In some cases these visual cues are used in the form of text box to guide students’ attention and to provide critical information at the same time. These text cues may impose heavy cognitive ...
متن کاملThe effect of sustained attention level and contextual cueing on implicit memory performance for e-learning environments
Cognitive-based individual differences, among which are attention and attention design, play a crucial role in designing personalized e-learning environments. In this study, the effects of dynamic and static cue types presented to users in e-learning environments on implicit memory performance of individuals with different sustained attention levels are investigated. The statistical analyses su...
