Abstract: Previous studies showed that multimedia learning effect were likely to be influenced by learner's prior knowledge and animation's speed. This study presented fast, normal, and slow animated learning materials to learners with high prior knowledge (HPK) and low prior knowledge (LPK) while recording their eye movements with an eye tracker. The results showed that there were no interaction on immediate tests, while the LPK perform better under fast than normal condition on delayed test. Eye-movement data indicated that the HPK fixated longer than the LPK on the picture AOI (Area of Interest). It suggests that learner's prior knowledge wouldn't affect the instructional effect of animation's speed on immediate test. The LPK performed better under fast condition on delayed test, which shows the multimedia learning effect affected by learner's prior knowledge and animation's speed can be tested over time. The HPK pay more attention to picture than the LPK in the overall learning material.

Key words: prior knowledge, presentation speed, multimedia learning, eye movement
