Extraneous Cognitive Load

Cognitive load experienced from the way the information/topic is presented. In other words, it depends on the external method of presentation

Good teaching minimizing extraneous cognitive load

Instead of hitting someone with several terms, it’s important to break down each term so that the person can focus on that and develop the Schemas for it

Reduce the split attention effect by bringing disparate sources of info close together. The farther the sources are from each other, the higher the extraneous cognitive load
