Cognitive Load Theory: Mathematical Resilience in a Variable Examples-Based Learning

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...

Managing cognitive load in ICT-based learning

The paper describes theoryand research-based principles and design guidelines for handling cognitive load in e-learning environments by adapting instructional methods, and presentation formats to levels of learner prior knowledge in a task domain. The suggested approaches and techniques are based on contemporary knowledge of human cognitive architecture, cognitive load theory, and, most importa...

Linkage between Cognitive Load Theory and Academic Emotions: Effects of Emotion Induction on Anxiety, Cognitive Load and Learning in Nursing Students

According to literature, nursing students face high-stress experience and high cognitive load due to heavy academic content and stressful clinical environment. So, the present study aimed to study the effect of emotion induction on anxiety, emotion regulation, cognitive load and learning performance based on studies and theories of cognitive load and academic emotions in nursing students. In a...

Learning programming via worked-examples : the effects of cognitive load and learning styles

Learning programming via worked-examples: Relation of learning styles to cognitive load

This paper describes an experiment that compared learners with contrasting learning styles, Active vs. Reflective, using three different strategies for learning programming via worked-examples: Pairedmethod, Structure-emphasising, and Completion. The quality of the learners’ acquired cognitive schemata was assessed in terms of their post-test performance. The experiment investigated variations ...
