Challenging the notion of a general disfluency effect: The moderating effect of element-interactivity on perceptual disfluency
Introduction The disfluency effect proposes that deliberately introducing challenges or difficulties into the learning process can be advantageous. Particularly, perceptual disfluency (e.g., harder to read fonts) might affect learning positively. However, an ongoing debate persists regardxing the robustness of this effect, as some studies have failed to replicate it or have uncovered opposing outcomes. Methods To investigate potential moderators …
Best Version of Yourself? TikToxic Effects of That-Girl Videos on Mood, Body Satisfaction, Dieting Intentions, and Self Discipline
The “That Girl” self-optimization trend on TikTok, promoting beauty and productivity, had over 17.4 billion views by August 2024. “That Girl” video clips showcase perfectly organized daily routines, fitness activities, and healthy eating—allegedly to inspire other users to aspire to similar flawlessness. Based on social comparison theory, the “That Girl” archetype serves as an upward comparison target. We expected detrimental effects of viewing “…
Watching Videos on a Smartphone: Do Small Screens Impair Narrative Transportation
Smartphones are a preferred platform to access audiovisual stories. Prior theory and research suggest that using smaller screens could lead to a shallower narrative experience. In three experiments we examined the influence of screen size (smartphone vs. computer screen) on the experience of being transported into the world of the story (narrative transportation). We further examined interaction effects with manipulations meant to change transpor…
Real-time responses to stories: Linking valence shifts to post-exposure emotional flow and transportation
Narrative experiences are characterized by dynamic emotional responses. Research has begun to investigate implications of emotional shifts for narrative processing, but the continuous measurement of emotion poses a challenge. This study examines how valence shifts captured using real-time response (RTR) measurement during two films relate to transportation and post-exposure self-reported emotional flow. Across both films, valence shifts (in terms…
Effects of induced levels of prior knowledge on monitoring accuracy and performance when learning from self-regulated problem solving
Both accurate monitoring and adequate control are crucial for effective self-regulation when learning from problem-solving tasks. Prior research has shown that self-regulated learning is especially harmful for low prior knowledge students, given their difficulties with accurate monitoring and control decisions. Although many studies have indicated that prior knowledge facilitates monitoring accuracy, none of these studies experimentally manipulat…

The Better You Feel the Better You Learn: Do Warm Colours and Rounded Shapes Enhance Learning Outcome in Multimedia Learning
The aim of the present study was to examine whether fostering positive activating affect during multimedia learning enhances learning outcome. University students were randomly assigned to either a multimedia learning environment designed to induce positive activating affect through the use of “warm” colours and rounded shapes ( n = 61) or an affectively neutral environment that used achromatic colours and sharp edges ( n = 50). Participants lear…
