Despite an increasing body of literature documenting the effects of either seductive or interpretational pictures added to text‐based materials, there is a paucity of research explicitly comparing them in a multimedia learning environment. Objectives: To address this gap, this study manipulated the picture condition by designing seductive pictures (SPs), interpretational pictures (IPs), and seductive plus interpretational pictures (SIPs) and investigated the multimedia effects of SPs, IPs, and SIPs on several cognitive and affective‐motivational variables. Methods: Two computer‐based experiments were conducted where a scientific text about the blood circulatory system was presented with SPs, IPs, or SIPs. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions, and completed a subsequent learning test (comprehension and transfer questions) as well as a survey measuring their learning experience. Results and Conclusions: The results of the two experiments were consistent in showing that our experimental manipulation was unsuccessful in influencing the learning outcome variables. Nevertheless, learning with seductive plus interpretational pictures appeared to yield better judgement accuracy, as compared to learning with seductive or interpretational pictures only. Most educational practitioners still include decorative elements based on their impression of aesthetics of motivation; this study encourages them to use these elements within their learning materials. Lay Description: Seductive pictures possess a dual nature, capable of either enhancing or impeding learning.Interpretational pictures are believed to facilitate learning through constructing a coherent mental model.Integrating seductive and interpretational pictures does not influence learning outcomes (comprehension and transfer).The seductive‐plus‐interpretational group spend significantly less time on the learning task than does the interpretational group.Seductive plus interpretational pictures significantly increase monitoring accuracy as compared to either seductive or interpretational pictures.One possibility for overcoming the seductive details effect is to design seductive pictures accompanied by interpretational visuals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
