Coggno Inc. | Sep, 19 2008

A Cognitive Approach to Learning Content Delivery, Pt. 3The second fundamental assumption of Michael Mayer’s cognitive approach to learning content delivery is that of limited capacity.

Students witnessing a presentation are only able to retain a few images and sounds within their working memory at any one time. This concept of cognitive load is an area that has been extensively researched by psychologists.
