Cognitive mechanisms in learning and expertise

  • Wieman on Cognitive Load: Cognitive load has important implications for both classroom teaching and technical talks. To maximize learning, instructors must minimize cognitive load by limiting the amount of material presented, having a clear organizational structure to the presentation, linking new material to ideas that the audience already knows, and avoiding unfamiliar technical terminology and interesting little digressions.
  • Lecture dynamics vs. attention of audience
  • Why do good thoughts block better ones?
