What Is The Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning?
Mayer is one of the most important researchers and you can see Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia in this visual.
Cognitive Load Theory of Multimedia
Understanding how people typically acquire and store new knowledge, as well as the kinds of instructional approaches that best facilitate learning, is made possible by the cognitive load hypothesis. To describe how individuals learn, it makes use of the traits of working memory and long-term memory as well as their interrelationship.
Cognitive load is classified into three types: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane.
- Intrinsic load is referred the inherent difficulty in digesting information, regardless of how it is given. Regardless of the impact of extraneous and germane load, intrinsic load stays constant.
- Extraneous load is referred the way information is presented and how simple or difficult it is for a certain learner to process . Extrinsic load varies from individual to person.
- Germane load is referred the work required to process information into schemas using memory and intellect Thus, germane load is how we store new knowledge in long-term memory.
Cognitive Overload
Cognitive overload occurs when the learner is overwhelmed by a mix of intrinsic, external, and relevant burdens. Even the brightest minds can only comprehend so much information at once. When someone is overwhelmed, they may find it difficult to assimilate new information or make sound judgments. They may fail at a task that, given their expertise and experience, should be achievable.
