Abstract	Within an increasingly multimedia focused society, the use of external representations in learning, teaching and communication has increased dramatically. Whether in the classroom, university or workplace, there is a growing requirement to use and interpret a large variety of external representational forms and tools for knowledge acquisition, problem solving, and to communicate with others. ... The contributions in this book explore: 1. How we can theorise the relationship between processing internal and external representations; 2. What perceptual and cognitive restraints can affect the use of external representations; 3. How individual differences affect the use of external representations; 4. How we can combine external representations to maximise their impact; 5. How we can adapt representational tools for individual differences. Using empirical research findings to take a fresh look at the processes that take place when learning via external representations, this book is essential reading for all those undertaking postgraduate study and research in the fields of educational and instructional psychology, instructional design and mathematics and science education.
