Many theories across disciplines recognize that people are cognitive misers. That is to say, because there is so much data available to process in a given moment, people need to take shortcuts. While these shortcuts save time and mental energy in processing information, it often comes at the expense of sound, analytical decision making (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). In communication, the limited capacity model acknowledges the limited pool of resources that viewers have when encoding, storing, and retrieving message information when viewing televised content (Lang, Bolls, Potter, & Kawahara, 1999; Lang, 2000). In cognitive psychology, multimedia learning theory also recognizes that people have limited cognitive capacity (Mayer & Moreno, 2002). The redundancy principle acknowledges that processing information through too many senses can create a condition that is favorable to cognitive overload, and impeding the learning process (Leahy, Chandler, & Sweller 2003; Mayer & Moreno, 2002; Mousavi, Low, & Sweller, 1995). In the study of human-computer interaction, media equation also recognizes that interactive technologies can overload perceptual bandwidth (Reeves & Nass 1996; Reeves & Nass, 2000).
