Was looking over Wiki on both Cognitive load theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_load and Dual Coding- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-coding_theory I know they talk a lot about dual coding in dyslexia- and I am more familiar with working memory issues that cognitive load- sounds like cognitive load is an extension of working memory- mainly at issue is how malleable working memory is? the consensus for a long time was that it isn’t very malleable- might include for assessment of LD or something- but not for instruction- for those that attended the talk by the candidate from the west coast here at Baylor- there was quite a bit of discussion around it as she was developing interventions around reading and working memory for autistic children if I remember correctly.
