-====== Redundancy Principle ======
-===== Theory =====
-Redundancy principle refers to the fact that capacity of both human information channels can unnecessarily be **overloaded by redundant information** presented through both channels thereby negatively affecting learning process.((For example see: [[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563210001445|Schmidt-Weigand, Florian, and Katharina Scheiter. The role of spatial descriptions in learning from multimedia. Computers in Human Behavior 27, no. 1: 22-28. January 2011.]]))
-===== Practice =====
-The redundancy principle refers for example to a learning material in which a text is presented near a picture to explain it, but similar spoken text (carrying same information) is also included in the material. The related information should be **complementary**. The same (redundant) information is presented to the learner through both information channels, unnecessarily wasting cognitive resources when they could be used to obtain more related useful information.
-===== Research status =====
-Still, some research has also pointed that the negative redundancy effect does not occur if redundant information is short and respects spatial contiguity principles.(([[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022066308600380|Mayer, Richard E., and Cheryl I. Johnson. Revising the Redundancy Principle in Multimedia Learning. Journal of Educational Psychology 100, no. 2: 380-386. May 2008.]]))
