Investigating gender and spatial measurements in instructional animation research

作者:

Highlights:

• Predictors of scores learning from animations are different for males and females.

• Corsi test and subjective spatial measures predicts performance regardless gender.

• No evidence that animations benefit females because of having lower spatial ability.

• It suggests including gender and various spatial tests in future animation research.
