From Cognitive Load Theory to Collaborative Cognitive Load Theory

Cognitive load theory: implications of cognitive load theory on the design of learning

Cognitive load theory (CLT) can provide guidelines to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimise intellectual performance. It is based on a cognitive architecture that consists of a limited working memory, with partly independent processing units for visual and audio information, which interacts with an unlimited long-term memory. Acco...

Cognitive Load Measurement as a Means to Advance Cognitive Load Theory

In this article, we discuss cognitive load measurement techniques with regard to their contribution to cognitive load theory (CLT). CLT is concerned with the design of instructional methods that efficiently use people’s limited cognitive processing capacity to apply acquired knowledge and skills to new situations (i.e., transfer). CLT is based on a cognitive architecture that consists of a limi...

concepts. In addition, the interactive feedback design imposed lower germane cognitive and reflected on learner’s performance. On the practical side, the study contributes to the future study on considering the role of the animated agent in the multimedia design principles for reducing extraneous cognitive load. To elaborate, instructional designers should combine the role of the animated agent...

Cognitive load theory: more food for thought

A scientific theory is an explanation of a set of related observations, phenomena, or events based upon one or more hypotheses and verified multiple times by the evidence of detached groups of researchers. Cognitive load theory (CLT) was designed ‘‘to provide guidelines intended to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimize intellectua...
