Cognitive Load Bilinga, Queensland 4225

Welcome to Cognitive Load, a renowned institution located in Bilinga, Queensland, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to the study and application of Cognitive Load Theory in various fields. Our team of researchers, based at Southern Cross University, are experts in this area and actively engage in interdisciplinary projects.

At Cognitive Load, we understand the importance of good instructional design and its impact on learning outcomes. Our knowledge of human cognitive structures and their organization into a cognitive architecture drives our approach. Without a deep understanding of the intricate relations between working memory and long-term memory, instructional design can become ineffective and unpredictable.

Our website, cognitiveload.com.au, serves as a platform to showcase our ongoing projects and will soon provide links to publications, research opportunities, and additional resources. We believe in sharing our findings and contributing to the academic community.

One recent study conducted by our team focused on the application of cognitive load theory in authentic learning environments. We examined the performance differences of international students when given an exam that had been modified based on cognitive load theory principles. Importantly, the difficulty of the content remained unchanged. This study, which was presented at the Australasian Computing Education Conference, sheds light on the role of cognitive load in assessing international students. The paper can now be accessed in the ACM Digital Library under the title "Assessing International Students - the role of cognitive load."

At Cognitive Load, we are committed to advancing our understanding of cognitive load theory and its practical implications. Join us in exploring the fascinating world of cognitive architecture and instructional design.
