Applying Cognitive Load Theory to the Design of Online Learning.
… the study was to investigate the application of cognitive load theory to the design of online instruction. Students in three different courses (N = 146) were measured on both learning performance and perceptions of mental effort to see if there were any statistically significant differences. The …

Enhancing Auditor Expertise: Using Cognitive Load Theory to Examine a Reinforcing Feedback Loop Between Knowledge and Ability
… also essentially fixed. In this study, I draw on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) to propose a more dynamic relationship exists between knowledge and ability. CLT suggests that better organized knowledge structures reduce the load on working memory, thereby improving information processing ability. I …

Should problem solving precede explicit instruction when element interactivity is high?
… followed by problem solving. However, Cognitive Load Theory makes the opposite prediction that explicit instruction followed by problem solving is more effective than a problem-solving phase prior to explicit instruction when element interactivity is relatively high. The literature for …

Measuring Cognitive Load in a Clinical Setting: Medical Learning and Practice
Cognitive load theory is of particular relevance to the learning and practice of medicine, where task demands require a complex interplay of working memory, emotion, and stress. To better understand the role of cognitive load in the performance of medical learners and expert physicians, this thesis …

Differentiation in Chemistry for Students With Various Levels of Cognitive Efficiency
Using Cognitive Load Theory as a tool to help teachers differentiate in a Chemistry classroom can benefit both teacher and student. Using this theory, teachers can evaluate their lessons and activities and gauge how challenging they will be for their students, which invites teachers to adapt their …

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKLOAD AND COGNITIVE OVERLOAD: SELF-EFFICACY, PERFECTIONISM, AND RESILIENCE AS POTENTIAL MODERATORS
… whether there is a relationship between workload and cognitive overload with self-efficacy, perfectionism, and psychological resilience as possible moderators. Cognitive Load Theory states that individuals have a finite amount of working memory. When the working memory load has reached its …
