The present study explored the influence of redundancy on spatial contiguity effect during multimedia learning as well as its mechanism. We collected and analyzed the cerebral cortex activities, which were measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Participants were 35 college students, who were randomly assigned to integrated conditions or separated conditions. Learning outcomes were measured by scores on retention, transfer, and total test. The subjective measure of the learning process was self-reported cognitive load ratings. Results showed that: 1) text-picture integration facilitated better comprehension than a separated presentation, and 2) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and left frontopolar cortex (FPC) tended to be more activated when learning under integrated conditions. The findings suggest that even though there is redundancy, the spatial contiguity effect still exists. The involvement of DLPFC and left FPC might be the neural basis of the spatial contiguity effect. The current findings provide new evidence for the theoretical hypothesis of the spatial contiguity effect of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML).
