essential processing: main processing of the material
incidental processing: processing of supplementary items, such as music or color
representational holding: Holding items in short term memory because not everything can be shown at once
- Split essential learning between two channels, don’t force someone to read something and look at an image at the same time
- Segment learning
- pretrain: It’s similar to segmenting, but essentially you give them base information about terms and such before hitting them with the essential information
- don’t mix essential and incidental processing in the same channel
- make words and pictures near each other
- eliminate redundancy (such as narrative and onscreen text) (don’t know how much I agree with this one.)
- synchronize things to prevent representational holding
- Or look for people who are good at representational holding (aka people with good mental image skills)
