=== Challenges === 1. Context-specific: The effectiveness of the principle is dependent on the specific context in which it is applied. A visual display that is effective in one context may not be as effective in another context. The style of the display is dependent on the context and environment in which the display takes place. For example, the style of visual dimensions and animation presentation in the context of a kindergarten can be very different than in the context of an office. 2. Individual differences: The Apprehension Principle assumes that all viewers have similar cognitive abilities and limitations. However, this isnβt necessarily true. There are individual differences in how people perceive and process information, which could impact the effectiveness of the principle. 3. Culture and language: The principle assumes that all viewers have a similar cultural and linguistic background. However, differences in culture and language can impact the way in which people perceive and interpret visual displays. Displays with a certain set of characteristics may be easily apprehensible to people with a certain set of backgrounds but may not be as apprehensible for people with a different set of backgrounds. 4. Complexity: The principle may be less effective when dealing with complex or unfamiliar information. When displaying complex and unfamiliar information, the difficult nature of the information itself can cause difficulty for the viewer to accurately perceive and understand the visual display.
