=**Uses of Contiguity Principle:**=

//1. Place corresponding text and graphics near each other on the screen//

 * **" When words and pictures are integrated, people can hold them together in their working memories and therefore make** **meaningful connections between them."**
 * **"When words and pictures are separated from one another on the screen or in time, people must use their scarce cognitive** **resources just to match them up. This creates what we call extraneous processing- cognitive processing that is unrelated** **to the instructional goal."**
 * **"Eye tracking shows better integration of text asnd visual when visuals are integrated into the text"**

**//2. Present corresponding speech and graphics at the same time//**
=**Uses of the Multimedia Principle**=
 * ** "When there is a narrated animation, narrated video,or even a narrated series of still frames, there is consistent evidence that people learn best when the words describing an element or event are spoken at the same time that the animation (or video or illustration) depicts the element or event on the screen." **
