Some ethical considerations have been raised about the potential harm of screening labeling patients with the diagnosis of COPD.
But in fact, as a new, animated screen label next to it now reveals, its history is much more complicated: it was actually constructed in Czechoslovakia in the Fifties, then sold to the Egyptian Army, and captured by the Israelis in 1973, before being acquired by the museum.
So, on-screen labels appear to be promising for learning from procedural animations.
Flanked by bodyguards and with only his head visible above a protective screen labelled Victory Festival 2006, he said his guerrillas would never surrender their weapons.
This study extends this line of research by focusing on the usefulness of on-screen labels in an animation explaining a procedural task (i.e., first-aid procedure).
Results showed that on-screen labels improved retention accuracy (but not behavioral performance accuracy) of the procedure, especially when presented together with spoken text.
The 80 videos, 5 to 15 minutes in length, are peppered with quick jump cuts, slick screen labels and a jaunty soundtrack.
The experiment had a 2 × 2 × 2 between-subject design (N = 129) with the factors spoken text (yes vs. no), written text (yes vs. no), and on-screen labels (yes vs. no).
However, recent work showed that a "condensed" form of written text (i.e., on-screen labels) that overlaps with the spoken text, and thus is only partially redundant, can actually foster learning.
Now, Sony has completely redesigned the menus, and cleverly, too; the camera uses "soft keys," like on a cellphone — two buttons beside the screen whose functions change along with the on-screen labels.
