Plass, Jan L.; Chun, Dorothy M.; Mayer, Richard E.; Leutner, Detlev
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n1 p25-36 Mar 1998
English-speaking college students (n=103) enrolled in a German course read a German story presented by a computer program which allowed them to choose a verbal or visual (picture or video clip) translation. Students remembered word translations better when they saw both annotations. Implications for a theory of multimedia learning are discussed. (SLD)
