Cognitive load refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory during learning.
Split attention occurs when instructions impose a split between the processing demands within working memory.
The cognitive load theory suggests that there are three types of cognitive loads: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane.
Intrinsic cognitive load is inherent in the material itself and cannot be reduced by instructional design.
Extraneous load refers to the cognitive effort expended on processing elements irrelevant to the learning of educational content material.
Extraneous cognitive load can be minimized through effective instructional design.
Germane load refers to the cognitive effort expended on processing that enhances learning and understanding of instructional content.
Extraneous cognitive load can be minimized through effective instructional design.
Germane cognitive load refers to the cognitive effort required to process information relevant to the learning of educational content material.
Germane load refers to the cognitive effort required to process information relevant to the learning of educational content material.
Cognitive load theory proposes that students have limited capacity for information processing and that this capacity must not exceed their limits.
Germane cognitive load involves the development of schemas or knowledge structures related to the task at hand.
Intrinsic cognitive load is determined by the inherent complexity of the material being learned.
Intrinsic cognitive load is determined by the inherent complexity of the material being learned.
Learning styles refer to individual differences in how people prefer to take in new information or approach tasks.
Intrinsic cognitive load is determined by the inherent complexity of the material being learned.
Intrinsic cognitive load is determined by the inherent complexity of the material being learned.
Cognitive load theory proposes that working memory has limited capacity and can only process a certain amount of information at once.

Long-term memory involves storing information over longer periods of time and includes explicit (declarative) and implicit (non-declarative) memories.

Cognitive load theory proposes that working memory has limited capacity and can only process a certain amount of information at once.
Working memory has two components: the central executive and slave systems (visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer, phonological loop).
Visual-spatial learners tend to think in pictures rather than words and may have difficulty with abstract concepts.
Working memory plays an important role in short-term memory tasks such as remembering phone numbers or recalling names.
