Likourezos, Vicki; Kalyuga, Slava – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
The variability effect occurs when learners' exposure to highly variable tasks results in better learning. It was hypothesised that learners who studied high variability worked examples would obtain higher post-test scores compared to learners who studied low variability examples, and learners who self-generated problem solutions for the same high…

Blayney, Paul; Kalyuga, Slava; Sweller, John – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
Tailoring of instructional methods to learner levels of expertise may reduce extraneous cognitive load and improve learning. Contemporary technology-based learning environments have the potential to substantially enable learner-adapted instruction. This paper investigates the effects of adaptive instruction based on using the isolated-interactive…
