The experimental data reveal that young children strongly prefer high-complexity images which are entirely dynamic. Therefore, it is recommended that graphical interfaces designed to assist young learners in acquiring new vocabulary items should utilize images of this type to increase their interest, thereby enhancing their learning motivation and performance.
