Cognitive Load Theory and Information Acquisition Quiz

• Genetic information is obtained from ancestors through asexual or sexual reproduction.
• Human cognition also borrows and reorganizes information from others through imitating, listening, and reading.
• Borrowing and reorganizing principle assumes that we have evolved to acquire information from other people.
• Imitating, listening, and reading help us obtain new, biologically secondary knowledge from other people.
• Listening is biologically primary while reading is biologically secondary.
• Reading needs to be taught as a biologically secondary task.
• Cognitive load theory is based on the assumption that the purpose of instruction is to assist learners to acquire information from other people.
• The way we present information and activities for learners is important in cognitive load theory.
• Modality effect may contribute to the fact that we may be better at listening to associated speech rather than reading while looking at a diagram.
• Transient information effect is also important in cognitive load theory.
