Les recherches [...] ont permis le développement d'une théorie cognitive de l'apprentissage multimédia. Théorie qui se base sur l'idée que les êtres humains ont deux canaux d'acquisition d'information, le canal visuel et le canal oral, et que la capacité d'acquisition d'information dans la mémoire de travail est limitée; par conséquent l'apprentissage implique la sélection des informations importantes et la construction d'un modèle mental cohérent. 2, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20cognitive%20de%20l%27apprentissage%20multim%C3%A9dia
