Cognitive Load Theory: Learning on ”Beechinor street”

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of cognitive load and its impact on effective precepting. Join us as we have Ryan Beechinor, on our latest episode of precept responsibly to share his invaluable insights.

Cognitive load refers to the mental effort required to process information while learning. As preceptors, understanding cognitive load theory can revolutionize the way we approach teaching, helping us create optimal learning experiences for our students or trainees.

Together, we explore the three types of cognitive load: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane. Ryan explains how each type impacts learning and reveals practical strategies to reduce extraneous load, which can hinder comprehension and retention.
