The influence of spatial distance and signaling on the split-attention effect
作者：
Highlights：
• Two experiments examined learning from spatially separated text and pictures.
• In Experiment 1 increased distance and signaling did not influence learning.
• Experiment 2 found no benefits of spatially integrating text and picture.
• Apparently spatial separation does not always impede text-picture learning.
