** Ways to Overcome Cognitive Load in Students** As educators, we wear many hats. We're not just teachers; we're facilitators, mentors, and sometimes even cheerleaders. But one of the biggest challenges we face is ensuring that our students can absorb and retain information effectively without feeling overwhelmed. That's where tackling cognitive load comes into play. Cognitive load refers to the amount of mental effort required to process information. When it's too high, learning becomes a struggle, and retention suffers. So, how can we help our students lighten this load? 1️⃣ **Chunking**: Break down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable chunks. By presenting information in bite-sized portions, students can digest it more easily. 2️⃣ **Visual Aids**: Incorporate visuals like diagrams, charts, and videos into your lessons. Visual information can be processed faster than text alone, reducing cognitive strain. 3️⃣ **Active Learning**: Encourage student participation through discussions, group activities, and hands-on projects. Active engagement keeps minds active and helps prevent cognitive overload. 4️⃣ **Provide Clear Instructions**: Ambiguity can lead to confusion, increasing cognitive load. Offer clear, step-by-step instructions for tasks and assignments to guide your students effectively. 5️⃣ **Use Multimodal Learning**: Appeal to different learning styles by incorporating various modalities such as auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements into your teaching. 6️⃣ **Practice Spaced Repetition**: Instead of cramming information into one session, spread out learning over time. This approach reinforces memory retention and reduces cognitive strain. 7️⃣ **Promote Self-Regulated Learning**: Teach students strategies to manage their own learning processes, such as goal-setting, self-assessment, and time management. Empowering them fosters independence and reduces cognitive load. What are some additional techniques you've found effective in reducing cognitive load among students?

You probably know about Abraham Maslow and the Maslow Heirarchy of Needs. But do you know Benjamin Bloom? Bloom helped develop a heirachy of cognitive skills: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation. Teachers have a saying that students need to Maslow before they can Bloom, meaning that students must have their needs met before they can focus on cognitive skills. Turns out, that saying applies for employees, too. So if you, or one of your colleagues, is struggling cognitively at work, maybe first check on those Maslow needs.

Variety is the spice of learning ! A new study has just found that older adults learn a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks. The findings suggest diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age. Researchers observed that varied practice, not repetition, primed older adults to learn a new working memory task. Their findings, which appear in the journal ‘Intelligence’ propose diverse cognitive training as a promising whetstone for maintaining mental sharpness as we age. "People often think that the best way to get better at something is to simply practice it over and over again, but robust skill learning is actually supported by variation in practice," said lead investigator Elizabeth A. L Stine-Morrow, a Beckman researcher and professor emerita of educational psychology. See below for more detail on this interesting study and it’s findings. #memory #training #cognition #aging #learning #skills #deliberatepractice #recall #research

Dear LinkedIn Community, This might create a difference to the enthusiastic learners. Excited to share insights from a recent psychology module tailored for professionals like you! In our exploration of "Advanced Brain and Behavior," we dove deep into the scientific process of learning. A key takeaway is the concept of lifelong learning, inspired by experts like Sharon Patmore. This simple yet profound concept encourages professionals to continually develop their skills. I've personally found immense value in this approach, guided by instructors such as Helge Gillmeister, Elia Valentini, and Steffan Kennett Understanding the psychological benefits of Lifelong Learning skills can help individuals to excel in their fields. I'm genuinely excited about the potential impact of implementing such concepts. Let's prioritize personal and professional development and create a difference! #lifelonglearning #transform #letsdogreatthings #rise #wellbeing #Occupationalpsychology #universityofessex
