“…Visually attractive pictures that are only loosely related to the text content can actually distract students from processing the main information from the text and can even have detrimental effects on student performance (seductive details effect; Harp & Mayer, 1998;Rey, 2012). The evidence-based recommendation is therefore not to present pictures that just look "motivational" but, rather, to use pictures that illustrate main ideas from the text (Carney & Levin, 2002;Levie & Lentz, 1982). Representational pictures that illustrate relevant text content and therefore help students to do better in tests (Lindner et al, 2017) were shown to be more motivating than pictures that instructors consider visually appealing.…”

In this study, we present the newly developed Misconceptions about Multimedia Learning Questionnaire (MMLQ), we evaluate its psychometric properties (item difficulties, scale reliabilities, and internal structure), and we use it to examine the prevalence of four different misconceptions about multimedia learning in student teachers and teachers. A total of 311 participants (176 teachers and 135 student teachers) responded to the items of the MMLQ. The results revealed moderate reliabilities of the MMLQ scales. Moreover, an a priori assumed four-factor structure of misconceptions about multimedia learning was most compatible with teachers’ and student teachers’ answers to the MMLQ items. These four factors were learning styles (multimedia instruction needs to be adapted to students’ learning styles [visual or auditory]), hemispheric isolation (multimedia instruction enables hemispheric communication), naïve summation (multimedia instruction is more effective the more sensory channels are used), and motivation primacy (multimedia instruction is mainly effective because it is motivating). The majority of teachers and student teachers endorsed three of the four misconceptions about multimedia learning (i.e., learning styles [78.1%], hemispheric isolation [58.8%], and naïve summation [81.4%]) as assessed by the MMLQ. This finding may provide valuable information for teacher education and training regarding this specific issue.

“…The biomarker reference values available from the literature and cited in the Supplemental Table S1, were based on data available for non-Hispanic white children, not other racial/ethnic groups. Although the external validity of these findings to other Spanish-speaking immigrant audiences is unknown, the methods applied to the development of the tool are consistent with theories of visual information processing [83] and cross-cultural adaptation principles [84], with efforts to reduce client cognitive load for those federal program participants with a broad range of literacy skills [85]. As parents volunteered to participate and were not randomly drawn from the larger low-income Spanish-speaking WIC and Head Start populations, the variability of their responses may be smaller compared to that of the general limited-resource target population.…”

Obesity Risk Assessment Tool for Low-Income Spanish Speaking Immigrant Parents with Young Children: Validity with BMI and Biomarkers of Obesity

Children of Hispanic origin bear a high risk of obesity. Child weight gain trajectories are influenced by the family environment, including parent feeding practices. Excessive body fat can result in unhealthful metabolic and lipid profiles and increased risk of metabolic diseases. The objective was to estimate criterion validity of an obesity risk assessment tool targeting Spanish-speaking families of Mexican origin using anthropometric measures and blood values of their young children. A cross-sectional study design with five data collection sessions was conducted over an eight-week period and involved 206 parent/child dyads recruited at Head Start and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children in Northern California. Main outcome measures were criterion validity of Niños Sanos, a pediatric obesity risk assessment tool, using anthropometric measures and blood biomarkers. Niños Sanos scores were inversely related to child BMI-for-age percentiles (p = 0.02), waist-for-height ratios (p = 0.05) and inversely related to blood biomarkers for the metabolic index (p = 0.03) and lipid index (p = 0.05) and positively related to anti-inflammatory index (p = 0.047). Overall, children with higher Niños Sanos scores had more healthful lipid, metabolic and inflammatory profiles, as well as lower BMI-for-age percentiles and waist-to height ratios, providing evidence for the criterion validity of the tool. Niños Sanos can be used by child obesity researchers, by counselors and medical professionals during clinic visits as a screening tool and by educators as a tool to set goals for behavior change.

“…Furthermore, consumers are required to take pictures or videos and edit texts, such cumbersome steps will cost more time and execution cost that the image-based reviews or video-based reviews are more valuable, greatly improving the trusts of consumers. American scholars once made a comparative study about the reading effects of the illustrated and no illustrated textbook, which showed that the reading effects of the illustrated textbook were more prominent and the subjects obtained 25% more information from illustrated textbook than no illustrated (Levie & Lentz, 1982). The images or videos in image-based online reviews or video-based online reviews reinforce text content in the reviews, and present products to consumers in multisensory respects.…”

Perception of products has becoming one of the most important factors influencing consumers’ purchase intention in the context of online shopping. Thus, enriching and studying review presentation formats have been significant things for practitioners and researchers. This study employed dual coding theory and telepresence theory to investigate the effects of review presentation formats (text-based reviews, image-based reviews and video-based reviews) on consumers’ purchase intention, and then analysed the moderation effect of product type. The 3×2 between-subject situational experiment and 3×2 within-subject eye-tracking experiment design were separately applied to test the hypotheses. The results manifested that review presentation formats exactly could generate different impacts on consumers’ purchase intentions. And product type moderated the impact of presentation formats on purchase intentions. Hence, this research considered online vendors should pay more attention to image-based and video-based reviews, moreover take the product type into account.
