Abstract

In this study, we examined the impact of irrelevant visual images in a PowerPoint lecture on attention and information retention performance. We found students viewing text-only PowerPoint slides retained less information than students viewing text-and-image slides, but the difference did not reach significance. However, when examining both fixation counts and fixation duration, we found students viewing text-and-image PowerPoint slides who spent more time looking at the text retained more information. We discuss the impact of varied visual attention (moving back and forth from text to image) on information integration and retention and establish empirical questions for future research.

ppt幻灯片上的图像和文本:“跟踪”它们对信息保留的影响

在本研究中，我们考察了在ppt演讲中不相关的视觉图像对注意力和信息保留表现的影响。我们发现观看纯文字幻灯片的学生比观看图文幻灯片的学生保留的信息少，但差异没有达到显著性。然而，当检查注视次数和注视时间时，我们发现观看文本和图像幻灯片的学生花更多的时间看文本，他们保留了更多的信息。我们讨论了不同视觉注意力(从文本到图像来回移动)对信息整合和保留的影响，并为未来的研究建立了实证问题。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
