title = "Influence of prior knowledge and cognitive styles in Adaptive Hypermedia Learning Systems",
abstract = "Most Adaptive Hypermedia Learning Systems (AHLSs) tailor presentation content and navigational support based on prior knowledge or cognitive styles of students separately. There is, however, a need to explore how the two individual difference characteristics could be combined in adaptive hypermedia learning systems in order to maximize learning and comprehension of educational materials. To this end, the study presented in this paper developed two adaptive hypermedia learning systems, one tailored to students' prior knowledge, with the other tailored to their cognitive styles, with emphasis on Pask's Holist-Serialist dimension. Findings indicate that, in general, adapting to either prior knowledge or cognitive styles improves learning performance.",
