An instructional technique that helps people understand new information in terms of what they already know. Advance organizers are brief chunks of information-spoken, written, or illustrated-presented prior to new material to help facilitate learning and understanding. They are distinct from overviews and summaries in that they are presented on a more abstract level than the rest of the information-they present the "big picture" prior to the details. Since the technique depends on a defined entry point, it is generally applied to linear presentations (e.g., traditional classroom instruction), and does not work as well in nonlinear, exploratory learning contexts (e.g., free-play simulation). 1 ## Aesthetic-Usability Effect Aesthetic designs are perceived as easier to use than less-aesthetic designs. 1 The aesthetic-usability effect describes a phenomenon in which people perceive more-aesthetic designs as easier to use than less-aesthetic designs -whether they are or not. The effect has been observed in several experiments, and has significant implications regarding the acceptance, use, and performance of a design. 2 Aesthetic designs look easier to use and have a higher probability
