-====== The Spatial Contiguity Principle ====== 
  
- 
-===== Theory ===== 
- 
-The spatial contiguity principle suggests that related information sources should be spatially integrated in order to reduce attention-splitting and facilitate learning. 
- 
- 
-===== Practice =====

Click on the picture to follow the link.}}]]An example of a solved mathematical problem taking into consideration and ignoring the spatial contiguity principle is presented in image on the right. Example A shows text and graph (two information sources) unintegrated,​ whereas example B shows same two information sources, but this time spatialy integrated.

-Experiments have confirmed importance of this principle(([[http://​visuallearningresearch.wiki.educ.msu.edu/​file/​view/​Chandler+%26+Sweller+(1991).pdf|Chandler,​ P. and Sweller, J. Cognitive load theory and the format of instruction. Cognition and Instruction,​ 8(4), 293-332. 1991.]]))
