Clark, R. & Taylor, D. (1994). The causes and cures of learner overload. Training, 31(7), 40.
Brief, 4-page article offering a number of practical suggestions. "Cognitive overload is the natural outcome of instruction that exceeds the limited capacities of an individual's working memory. Research shows that the limits on working memory depend to a great degree on the knowledge that is stored in long-term memory. The challenge for trainers is to provide new information to trainees without frying their circuits with cognitive overload." Brief, 4-page article offering a number of practical suggestions. Well worth the five minutes it takes to read. (LT)

Ignore that this is published in Legal Information Management; this short, accessible article is soley concerned with learning theory in teaching. It will challenge the way you think and teach.
