The impact of disfluency, pacing, and students’ need for cognition on learning with multimedia

作者:

Highlights:

• A regular audio quality fostered learning compared to a disfluent audio quality.

• There was no interaction of spoken text quality and pacing (system vs. self-paced).

• Self-pacing led to longer learning times and fostered understanding.

• Self-pacing was particularly beneficial for learners with a high need for cognition.

• Self-pacing reduced the perceived difficulty of the instructional material.
