چکیده

Understanding the cognitive constraints affecting learning is primordial for the effectiveness of instructional design and intelligent learning systems. This paper presents a simulator model for computational working memory load estimations during learning activities. Using a Cognitive Load Theory interpretation, the simulator estimations are used to predict learning outcomes while using a tutoring system.

Cognitive load in distributed and massed practice in virtual reality mastoidectomy simulation.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Cognitive load theory states that working memory is limited. This has implications for learning and suggests that reducing cognitive load (CL) could promote learning and skills acquisition. This study aims to explore the effect of repeated practice and simulator-integrated tutoring on CL in virtual reality (VR) mastoidectomy simulation. STUDY DESIGN Prospective trial. ...

How Neurofeedback could affect Working Memory and Processing Speed among Girl Students with Learning Disabilities

Background: Learning disabilities (LDs) are diagnosed in children impaired in the academic skills of reading, writing, and/or mathematics. Children with LDs usually exhibit a slower resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG), corresponding to a neurodevelopmental lag. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback treatment on working memory and processing speed among g...
