5. Redundancy Principle #2

What Redundancy Principle #2 Is

According to Clark and Mayer (2011), it is unnecessary to "contain redundant on-screen text presented at the same time as on-screen graphics and narration" (Clark & Mayer, 2011, p. 135). Concluding that not only is repetition unnecessary, but it also hinders the learning process. When information is presented with redundancy, it causes information overload. The eyes and ears are limited to the amount of processing it can handle at once. Two forms of visual content provided simultaneously in different formats while the same auditory information is being presented only results in overwhelming the learner. 

How the Example Shows (or Doesn't) Redundancy Principle #2

Below is an example of the Redundancy Principle #2.
