In learning with multimedia, it suggests that when the brain simultaneously fed with two different forms of the same information; via audio and visual, instead of overwhelming the brain or overloading the learner, the brain will instead process the information in parallel. That is because there are two somewhat independent subcomponents that will be able to work in parallel when two different information are being introduced.
In a series of studies by Richard Mayer and his associates, the man behind the research on multimedia learning, they found that students when given multimedia media, with both animation and narration, did better than those who learnt from purely animation or text based materials.
It seems to suggest that by having a multi modal approach, it will help the daycare children to pay attention and understand and learn the material that is being covered better.
