Understanding Cognitive Load Theory

What is the main focus of cognitive load theory?

• To enhance emotional intelligence

• To improve physical health

• To manage working memory effectively

• To increase sensory memory capacity

What happens to information in sensory memory that is deemed irrelevant?

• It is processed in working memory

• It is stored in long-term memory

• It is filtered out and forgotten

• It is enhanced for better recall

What is the role of schema in memory?

• To store sensory information

• To organize and relate information

• To enhance emotional responses

• To increase physical endurance

Why is it important to manage cognitive load according to the theory?

• To improve physical endurance

• To enhance emotional responses

• To prevent overwhelming working memory

• To increase the speed of learning

What is the main goal of cognitive load theory in education?

• To reduce the complexity of all subjects

• To increase the amount of information taught

• To eliminate the need for long-term memory

• To manage the cognitive load for effective learning

What is a common misconception about multitasking?

• It enhances memory retention

• It improves focus and concentration

• It saves time and increases efficiency

• It reduces stress and anxiety

What is the effect of focusing on one task at a time?

• It increases cognitive load

• It reduces the chance of forgetting

• It decreases productivity

• It enhances multitasking ability

Which type of cognitive load refers to the complexity of the information itself?

• Extrinsic cognitive load

• Intrinsic cognitive load

• Germane cognitive load

• Sensory cognitive load

How can extrinsic cognitive load be reduced?

• By ignoring the students' feedback

• By adding more tasks to the lesson

• By increasing the difficulty of the content

• By simplifying the teaching method

Which type of cognitive load involves creating new schemas?

• Sensory cognitive load

• Germane cognitive load
