As a quick search in the ProQuest database will attest, there are dozens of dissertations that have been added in the last five years which have studied some aspect of Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning. The following are just a few examples of recent dissertations and their findings. Lu (2008) found that animated instructions with narration lead to better performance on retention tests, possibly due to less cognitive load on the learner. Lu also found that levels of learner control may not benefit
learners when learners do not have enough prior experience. Dong (2007) found that when positive emotions are elicited through an aesthetically-pleasing interface design, it can result in deeper learning, at least for low prior knowledge learners. Dacosta (2008) tentatively reported that his study was not able to reproduce the modality effect reported by Mayer & Moreno (Mayer, 1998, Experiments 1 and 2; Moreno & Mayer, 1999a, Experiments 1 and
2; 2002a, Experiments 1 and 2; Moreno et al., 2001, Experiments
4a and 4b and 5a and 5b), stating that it did not appear that middle-
aged learners attained a higher degree of meaningful learning from animation with concurrent narration than animation with concurrent printed text. Um (2008) reported that positive emotions induced before learning begins, facilitate cognitive processes and other affective experiences in a multimedia-based learning environment and that the positive mood state continued until the end of the learning and made significant effects on learning performance, cognitive load, motivation, satisfaction and perception of the learning. Finally, Musallam (2010) found that students who received pre-training through a screencast prior to instruction reported a statistically significant decrease in perceived mental effort, as well as an increase in performance when compared to students who did not receive pre-training.
