Touching digital objects directly on multi-touch devices fosters learning about visual contents

作者:

Highlights:

• The proximity of the hands to information influences learning on multi-touch tables.

• Learning of visuospatial information is fostered near the hands.

• For learning of verbal information hand proximity had no influence.

• Duration of touch plays a role during interacting (touch-mind-hypothesis).

• Visuospatial information should be touched long enough on multi-touch devices.
