    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Two experiments examined the effects of interactive tutorial\nfeatures (compared to “passive” features) on learning spatial\ntasks, an area seldom explored in interactivity research.\nExperiment 1 results indicated that for simple spatial tasks,\ninteractive tutorials hindered learning for participants of\nhigher spatial ability but improved learning for lower-ability\nparticipants. This interaction can be explained by\n“compensation,” the notion that people of higher ability can\ncompensate for poor external support (passive tutorials) while\npeople of lower ability need the better support. It is likely that\nthe increased cognitive load of interactivity (Kalyuga, 2007)\nhindered high-spatial participants on a relatively easy task. In\nExperiment 2, task difficulty was increased, and the results\nrevealed that the interactive tutorial produced better learning\nthan the passive tutorial, regardless of spatial abilities. With\nthe relatively difficult task, the benefits of interactivity\nbecame clearer because most people actually needed the\ninteractive features despite the associated cognitive load.",
