Abstract

Cognitive load theory investigates instructional consequences of processing limitations of the human cognitive system. Because of these limitations, text processing may result in an excessive cognitive load that would influence comprehension and learning from texts, as well as change learner affective states. This chapter reviews basic assumptions of cognitive load theory, their consequences for optimizing the design of information presentations, and implications for processing written and spoken texts.
