In the citing paper
“In the field of multimedia learning some recent studies have indeed revealed that interactivity can have a detrimental effect on learning, imposing extraneous cognitive load instead of germane cognitive load (Lowe 2004;Schnotz and Rasch 2005).”

“The associated competition for attention between different graphic elements constituting the animated display is likely to result in effects analogous to the split-attention effects that have been investigated between pictures and text (e.g. Mayer & Moreno, 1998).”

“…and the simultaneity of movements can be inappropriate, and thus unhelpful, to the human cognitive system, and attentional because novices tend to focus their attention on components that are perceptually salient but not necessarily relevant for comprehension (Boucheix & Lowe, 2010; Lowe, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
