Miscellaneous
100
The act of combining the elements of a large set of elements to form a smaller number of groups.
What is chunking?
100
The encoding (storage) of knowledge and/or skills into long term memory in such a way that the knowledge and skills may be recalled and applied at a later time on demand.
What is learning?
100
The total amount of mental activity imposed on working memory.
What is cognitive load?
100
That learning will be maximized by ensuring that as much of learners' working memory as possible is free to attend solely to encoding to-be-learned information.
What does the cognitive load theory state?
100
This discipline of science deals with the mental processes of learning, memory and problem solving.
What is Cognitive Science?
200
If this is identified during the chunking process, remembering is greatly enhanced.
What is logic?
200
Hierarchical information networks that help to story information in long term memory.
What are schemas?
200
The threshold of human working memory spans between these numbers.
What is 4 and 10 elements?
200
An instructional technique that provides all information for a given problem.
What is the goal free effect?
200
First coined by Sweller, this is the instructional theory generated by cognitive science.
What is the Cognitive Load Theory?
300
If this is identified during the chunking process, remembering is greatly enhanced.
What is what you know?
300
In order for information to encode to long term memory it must first be processed by this.
What is working memory?
300
The degree to which the elements of some to-be-learned information can, or cannot, be understood in isolation.
What is element interactivity?
300
An instructional technique where students focus their attention on the problem type and the associated steps to solution (the schemas). In solving the associated conventional problem they are testing themselves to determine if they have learnt the procedure. This may be a more genuine form of "practice problem solving".
What is the worked example and problem completion effect?
300
An information processing system involving long term and working memory.
What are learning structures?
400
A new piece of information that connects with something already stored in long-term memory is easily assimilated here.
What is existing knowledge base?
400
The distinguishing factors between experts and novices.
What are schemas and automation?
400
Responsible for the difficulty of some to-be-learned content.
What is intrinsic cognitive load?
400
An instructional technique to improve learning by physically integrating the solution into the graphic to produce a single source of instructional information.
What is the split attention effect?
400
It was in this era, that instructional designers began creating empirically superior learning strategies from cognitive load theory.
What are the 1980s?
500
Sensory, working and long term memory are the three types of this.
What is modal model of memory?
500
The ability to perform tasks without concentrating.
What is automation?
500
A modifiable load in instructional design caused by the materials used to present information.
What is extraneous cognitive load?
500
An instructional technique that information in a graphical manner is truly needed and if it is indeed needed, present integrated materials as to reduce the learners need to focus on more than one area.
What is the redundancy effect?
500
The fundamental tenet of cognitive load theory, is that quality instructional design would increase if more attention was placed on this limitation.
What is working memory?
