===Amount of guidance===

Research has demonstrated that higher level of guidance has a greater effect on scaffolded learning, but is not a guarantee of more learning.<ref name=":6" />  The efficacy of higher amount of guidance is dependent on the level of detail and guidance applicability.<ref name="multiple"/>  Having multiple types of guidance (i.e. worked examples, feedback) can cause them to interact and reinforce each other.  Multiple conditions do not guarantee greater learning, as certain types of guidance can be extraneous to the learning goals or the modality of learning.  With this, more guidance (if not appropriate to the learning) can negatively impact performance, as it gives the learner overwhelming levels of information.<ref name="multiple"/>   However, appropriately designed high levels of guidance, which properly interact with the learning, is more beneficial to learning than low levels of guidance.
