One cause comes from an  abundance of novel information. More information than the person can  process. But high cognitive load is also strongly influenced by the  number of elements in working memory that interact with each other.  Often, complex learning is based on interacting elements that must be  processed simultaneously. For example, learning to drive involves  understanding how several elements simultaneously interact, such as  considering the pressure required to brake, the amount to turn the  steering wheel and making adjustments for weather conditions and  traffic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theelearningcoach.com\/learning\/what-is-cognitive-load\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"cog-load4\" src=\"http:\/\/theelearningcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/cog-load4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Working memory is vulnerable to overload&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is cognitive load? &#8212; from theelearningcoach.com by Connie Malamed &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What causes too much demand on working memory?
