- | 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.]])) | + | Redundancy principle refers to the fact that capacity of both human information channels can unnecessarily be **overloaded by redundant information** presented in multiple forms or unnecessary elaborations thereby negatively affecting learning process.(([[http://books.google.hr/books?id=SSLdo1MLIywC&pg=PA159&dq=redundancy+principle&hl=hr&ei=dWTvTZ-PIsWcOrzzpd4B&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=book-preview-link&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQuwUwAA#v=onepage&q=redundancy%20principle&f=false|Mayer, Richard E.

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.
