RQ1. How successful are educational applications on tablet computer at directing user’s attention towards intrinsic and germane content?
To determine how successfully applications direct children’s attention towards intrinsic and germane content and away from extraneous content, two 2 (complexity: simple, complex) x 3 (content: intrinsic, germane, extraneous) ANOVAs were performed on the fixation count and fixation duration data. Intrinsic content included visuals that were required to complete the learning task (e.g., numbers, symbols, counting manipulatives). Germane content included visuals that scaffold the learning task but was not necessary to complete the task (e.g., progress markers, avatars/characters that offered aid on request, animations that reinforced the learning task). Extraneous content included visuals that did not aid the learning task (e.g., interactive and static background visuals, navigational
