  • Adaptive multimedia learning
  • Aptitude-treatment interactions
  • Cognitive Architecture
  • Cognitive Load Theory
  • Cognitively efficient adaptive multimedia
  • Domain knowledge in cognitive processes
  • Dual-modality presentations
  • Dynamic visual representations
  • Expertise reversal effect
  • Human cognitive processes
  • Instructional design implications
  • Instructional efficiency
  • Instructional simulations and games
  • Interactive learning environments
  • Learning complex cognitive skills
  • Multimedia instructional design implications

Editor/Author Biographies
Dr. Kalyuga is Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia where he has worked since 1995. He received a Ph.D. in Education from UNSW in 1998. His research interests are in cognitive processes and evidence-based instructional design principles for multimedia learning environments. His specific contributions include detailed experimental studies of the role of learner prior knowledge in multimedia learning (the expertise reversal effect); the redundancy effect in multimedia learning; the development of rapid online diagnostic assessment methods; and studies of the effectiveness of different adaptive procedures for tailoring instruction to levels of learner expertise. He was awarded an Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2001-2003). He is the author of the book Instructing and Testing Advanced Learners: A Cognitive Load Approach (2006) and 35 research articles and chapters. During his previous work in Russia (until 1991), he published more than 30 articles and several books and textbooks.
