The role of spatial ability when fostering mental animation in multimedia learning: An ATI-study
作者：
Highlights：
• An Aptitude-Treatment-Interaction study investigates mental animation.
• Mental animation prompts (with vs. without) were varied in a multimedia instruction.
• Positive learning effect of mental animation prompts was found in process knowledge.
• Specifically, learners of low to medium spatial ability profited from the prompts.
• Production vs. mediation deficiency and stable learning performance are discussed.
