Editing Cognitive Load Theory (section)

The foundation of cognitive load theory is based on the cognitive science perspective that designs cognitively friendly instruction. The human brain can only process a small amount of information but can store a large amount of information. The human brain's capacity is limited, which reduces the learner's extraneous load, which can avoid memory overload, ultimately making learning effective. The influence of cognitive load theory has been proven effective by research and experiments, and the idea of cognitive load theory is being applied to different fields. In the medical field, the use of cognitive load theory can benefit learners in simulation laboratory performance (Fraser, 2015), and in the education field, redesigning the activity by using cognitive load theory can reduce the anxiety of learners and free the capacity for cognitive activities, and increase learning effectiveness (Chen, 2009).
