1. I agree that individuals have limited capacity to process information, as described in the four principles from research in cognitive science. But, as I read about limited capacity, I had a few questions come to mind (that maybe answered in later reading). 1. At what point is this cognitive capacity reached? 2. Does each person have a different amount of capacity? They must. 3. How does an instructor or designer create multimedia for individuals tho have a very wide range of cognitive capacities?
2. I find it interesting that generative process (deeper understanding) of material “is created by the motivation of the learner to make sense of the material.” It’s very important piece to realize as a designer or teacher that for students to really learn, they have to have an intrinsic desire and motivation to make sense of the material.
3. The first step in the instructional (teaching/learning) process is to identify instructional objectives. This supports the first step of the process of getting information from the working memory to long-term memory: “Selection of the important information in the lesson.”
