✦ Synopsis

This paper gives four principles for preparing multi-media instructional sequences and exoerimental methods for applying the orinciples. It, also describc, s the empirical ext)crimcllts on which the principles are based. Principle 1 is a criterion for good terminology for unfamiliar objects, actions and situations, with methods for deriving such ternlinology. Principle 2 tells how to overlap visual and spoken elements in time (as in a movie or lecture with slides) to form good associations. Principle 3 states that division of instructions into conceptual units should agree with people's natural conceptualisation. A method is presented for finding the natural conceptualisation. Principle 4 treats mixing audiovisual instruction with hands-on practice in learning a procedure. Controls 16.3.19 (89474) Drury, C.G., and Pizatella, T.
