Context Interest in applying cognitive load theory in health care simulation is growing. This
line of inquiry requires measures that are sensitive to changes in cognitive load arising from …

As interest in applying cognitive load theory (CLT) to the study and design of pedagogic and
technological approaches in healthcare simulation grows, suitable measures of cognitive …

Context The effective implementation of cognitive load theory (CLT) to optimise the
instructional design of simulation‐based training requires sensitive and reliable measures of …

The paper 'Cognitive load predicts point-of-care ultrasound simulator performance'by
Aldekhyl, Cavalcanti, and Naismith, in this issue of Perspectives on Medical Education [1], is …

Background Cognitive load theory (CLT) provides a rich framework to inform instructional
design. Despite the applicability of CLT to simulation-based medical training, findings from …

Background Cognitive overload can inhibit learning, and cognitive load theory-based
instructional design principles can be used to optimize learning situations. This study aims to …

Context Fidelity is widely viewed as an important element of simulation instructional design
based on its purported relationship with transfer of learning. However, higher levels of …

Background Cognitive load should be considered in designing optimal educational
programs in health care. Despite the highly demanding nature of surgery and surgical …

Objectives Few studies have investigated cognitive factors affecting learning of procedural
skills in medical education. Cognitive load theory, which focuses on working memory, is …

Purpose Cognitive load theory, focusing on limits of the working memory, is relevant to
medical education; however, factors associated with cognitive load during procedural skills …
