In both active and passive groups, the correlation between spatial ability and performance was attenuated, relative to previous studies In contrast to the previous studies, the difference between high and low spatial participants was not significant in either condition. Once again, active and passive participants did not differ significantly, even though active learners used a more intuitive interface than in the previous study. As in Experiment 1, interactivity moderated the correlation between spatial ability and performance. The performances of high and low spatial participants differed overall, but when analyzed by condition, the difference was significant only in the passive condition In Experiment 2, active and passive participants did not differ significantly. That is, when the visual information was identical, interactivity did not confer an advantage.
