Abstract:
This study investigates the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) digital picture books in improving attention and emotional regulation among children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Grounded in self-determination theory and emotion regulation frameworks, a five-variable structural model was constructed: AR motivation → learning motivation → attentional focus → emotional regulation → behavioral improvement. Cognitive load and its interaction effects were introduced as moderating variables. Forty children aged 9-11, including 20 diagnosed with ADHD and 20 typically developing children, participated in a 2-week AR picture book intervention. Quantitative data were collected via student-, teacher-, and parent-rated instruments. T-tests, MANOVA, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA) were used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that AR picture books showed potential to improve learning motivation, attentional focus, and emotional regulation among ADHD children, ultimately enhancing behavioral outcomes. Learning motivation and attention served as significant mediators between AR experiences and emotion regulation. Cognitive load exhibited a negative moderating effect on the attentional-emotional pathway, with divergent patterns observed between ADHD and non-ADHD groups. These findings provide empirical support for the application of AR-based multisensory interaction design in special education interventions and offer practical insights into personalized cognitive-adaptive instructional design for inclusive learning environments.

The Nernst Equation
The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.
