  1. Proud of these slides talking about cognitive science and learning. I tried my best to strip things down and show how to become a more effective instructor. laderast.github.io/talks/2022-10-7-using-cognitive-science/

      Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory was one of those things that really made me understand what teaching is about. This talk is a gross simplification, but hopefully it gives you an idea about why cognitive load is so important.

          Cognitive Load Theory is something I apply to almost everything I do. I think it's at the heart of communicating complex ideas without "dumbing things down". I've always hated the condescension of that term.
