Verified content
- UK high-school students; online randomised survey experiment (N = 101): video explanations of two physics topics (dark matter, tracers) with or without seductive details; pre-, post- and delayed knowledge tests; plus interviews (6) and think-aloud (9).
- Per abstract: seductive details harmed learning for one topic (dark matter, η² = 0.114) but not the other (tracers, p = 0.166); think-aloud suggests details may also anchor attention and structure when prior knowledge is low.
- Read: abstract only (via search; title and authors checked on Crossref). Outcome is knowledge retention, not a transfer test.
