{"pk":27418,"title":"Text, images and diagrams as information providers","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We studied the effect of adjunct displays on recall in an\nexpository text (based on McCrudden, Schraw, Lehman, &\nPoliquin, 2007) in order to find out which means of display\naided pupils in the last years of secondary school to recall\ninformation. We included four conditions in the experiment:\ntext only, text and causal diagram, text and images and causal\ndiagram only. Participants were checked for their recall of\nmain ideas and causal sequences. Recall for main ideas did\nnot vary significantly across conditions. Contrary to\nMcCrudden et al. (2007), our results for the causal sequences\nrevealed that participants who studied a causal diagram only\ncould recall more steps from causal sequences than\nparticipants in any of the other conditions. We will interpret\nthe findings in the light of the literature on redundancy\neffects, dual coding theory, and the causal explication\nhypothesis.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Causal diagram; Text comprehension; Causal\nrelationships; Visual/spatial display"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5b46b5qz","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sara","middle_name":"","last_name":"Verbrugge","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Leuven","department":""},{"first_name":"Aurélie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Stas","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Leuven","department":""},{"first_name":"Koen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Jaspaert","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Leuven","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27418/galley/17054/download/"}]}
