A procedural task was demonstrated via videotape in two formats - one with motion, one using a series of still photographs. The sound tracks were identical. In two experiments the motion treatment was superior for some subjects and cuing arrows made no difference. (Author)

A study of variations in pupils' prior knowledge for their influence on the sequencing mode of text presentation found prior knowledge reduced the effect of size of sequencing procedures. A second experiment comparing performance of pupils with low prior knowledge level using websequence and linear sequence found webteaching was superior.…
