Select all of the following that are true statements.
Pupillary response can be used to measure cognitive load.
Cognitive load is most relevant to students in math and science classes.
Those who experience poverty have higher cognitive loads.
By the time they reach college, students can be expected to manage their own cognitive loads.
Teachers have the least control over which type of cognitive load:
Intrinsic
Germane
Extraneous
Which type of cognitive load is associated with the learning process and the development of automated schema?
Intrinsic
Extraneous
Germane
A teacher's approach to applying cognitive load to their practice can best be summarized as:
Minimizing extraneous load, maximizing intrinsic load, and managing germane load.
Managing extraneous load, individualizing intrinsic load, and minimizing germane load.
Minimizing extraneous load, managing intrinsic load, and individualizing germane load.
Managing extraneous load, minimizing intrinsic load, and minimizing germane load.
Cognitive load is directly related to space in which type of memory?
Long term memory
Working memory
Sensory memory
Procedural memory
Not all students or ages of people have the same cognitive load capabilities. For example, select all statements that are true:
Exposing children to academic information in their home environments is not beneficial to their learning because it makes their cognitive loads too heavy.
The latest generation of students has grown up with better cognitive load management skills because of their exposure to new technologies and social media.
Children have high cognitive loads because they lack experience with common knowledge, which decreases their information processing time.
The declining memory in the elderly increases their cognitive load thereby decreasing their control over their balance.
