Scherer, Demian; Verkühlen, Annika; Dutke, Stephan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Research suggests that explanatory pictures support learning, whereas pictures that distract processing resources from the main ideas of a text may impair learning and are considered as seductive illustrations. However, non-explanatory pictures that are related to the text and that do not tempt readers to focus illustrations more than the text's…

Heinze, Aiso; Arend, Julia; Gruessing, Meike; Lipowsky, Frank – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
The adaptive use of strategies, that is selecting a strategy which allows an efficient solution for a given problem, can be considered as an important individual ability relevant in various domains. Based on models of subjects' skills of adaptive use of strategies, two idealized instructional approaches are suggested to foster students in their…

Korbach, Andreas; Brünken, Roland; Park, Babette – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Different indicators are interesting for analyzing human learning processes. Recent studies analyze learning performance in combination with cognitive load, as an indicator for learners' invested mental effort. In order to compare different measures of cognitive load research, the present study uses three different objective methods and one…

Likourezos, Vicki; Kalyuga, Slava – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
According to cognitive load theory, using worked examples is an effective and efficient instructional strategy for initial cognitive skill acquisition for novice learners, as it reduces cognitive load and frees up cognitive resources to build task competence. Contrary to this, productive failure (as well as invention learning, desirable…

Seufert, Tina; Wagner, Felix; Westphal, Julia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
In some cases difficult-to-read learning materials lead to better performance than easy to-read materials. This phenomenon is called the disfluency effect and is attributed to a subjective feeling of task difficulty resulting in a deeper learning approach. In two studies (n[subscript 1] = 67, n[subscript 2] = 73) we investigated the impact of…
