TY - JOUR U1 - Zeitschriftenartikel, wissenschaftlich - nicht begutachtet (unreviewed) A1 - Schwan, Stephan A1 - Riempp, Roland T1 - The cognitive benefits of interactive videos: learning to tie nautical knots T2 - The Journal of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction N2 - In contrast to their traditional, non-interactive counterparts, interactive dynamic visualisations allow users to adapt their form and content to their individual cognitive skills and needs. Provided that the interactive features allow for intuitive use without increasing cognitive load, interactive videos should therefore lead to more efficient forms of learning. This notion was tested in an experimental study, where participants learned to tie four nautical knots of different complexity by watching either non-interactive or interactive videos. The results show that in the interactive condition, participants used the interactive features like stopping, replaying, reversing or changing speed to adapt the pace of the video demonstration. This led to an uneven distribution of their attention and cognitive resources across the videos, which was more pronounced for the difficult knots. Consequently users of non-interactive video presentations, needed substantially more time than users of the interactive videos to acquire the necessary skills for tying the knots.
