Extending multimedia research: How do prerequisite knowledge and reading comprehension affect learning from text and pictures

作者:

Highlights:

• Multimedia effects and modality effects were limited to immediate recall.

• A redundant presentation of text proved harmful for delayed performance.

• Reading comprehension did not moderate effects of multimedia design.

• High scientific-literacy learners showed a multimedia effect for delayed recall.

• Better cognitive prerequisites were associated with less forgetting over time.
