    1. foundthat learners who received a multimedia lesson withanimation and audio narration alone performed onaverage 79% better than learners who received alesson containing animations, audio, and redundanttext.

      This makes sense. For my own students, I find that they retain information better if I have them watch a video and take notes independently, versus me showing a video to the whole class and discusing it or taking notes. The visuals, audio, and re-explaining of a concept tie into this research

    2. Redun-dancy refers to learning inefficiencies that resultwhen we provide learners with too much information

    3.

Inaddition, you should analyze your instructional objec-tives to determine whether they are simple or com-plex. The guidelines of cognitive load theory must beadapted based on the complexity of the content andon the experience of the learners

      I feel like this is the backbone of instruction. We always want to start with the concept of what do my students know/not know, what is their ability level, how do I need to prepare the materials/text/tools so that they can independently access them?

    4. ability to process andretain information diminishe

      I wonder if this "magic number" is also true for students with diminished working memory or cognition?

    5. According to this psychological prin-ciple, working memory can only process sevenchunks of information at any given time, plus orminus two items

      This is helpful to know. When I took AP US History in high school, my teacher always told us to only put up to 7 pieces of information on a notecard. He was defintely using this research!
