External cognition: how do graphical representations work? (Review) : http://www.elearning-reviews.org/topics/human-computer-interaction/design-principles/1996-scaife-rogers-external-cognition-graphical-representation/ ((1) computational offloading: graphics reduce the learners’ cognitive load, the “knowledge in the world” needs not to be memorized by the learner, (2) re-representation: graphics represent abstract structures in a way that is easier to comprehend, and (3) graphical constraining: graphics constrain the number of options in problem-solving tasks).
