Cognitive Overload

too much of a good thing

Cognitive Theory of Multimedia LearningOriginated by Richard E. Mayer

Based on 3 Assumptions:

Dual-Channel – for visual/pictorial and auditory/verbal processing

Limited Capacity – each channel has a limited capacity for processing

Active Processing – organizes selected information into coherent mental representations, integrated with prior knowledge.
