Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning

             Hello everyone! Today we are going to look at what "Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning" is. Let's get started.


            Multimedia instructional messages that are developed in light of how the human mind works are more likely to lead to meaningful learning than those that are not. This is a key premise driving research on multimedia learning. The cognitive theory of multimedia learning is based on three learning principles: the human information processing system has dual channels for visual/pictorial and auditory/verbal processing (i.e., dual-channel assumption), each channel has a limited processing capacity (i.e., limited-capacity assumption), and active learning entails carrying out a coordinated set of cognitive processes while learning (i.e., active processing assumption).

            The cognitive theory of multimedia learning defines five cognitive processes in multimedia learning: selecting relevant words from the presented text or narration, selecting relevant images from the presented graphics, organizing the selected words into a coherent verbal representation, organizing selected images into a coherent pictorial representation, and integrating the pictorial and verbal representations as well as prior knowledge.

            Extraneous processing (which is unrelated to the instructional objective), essential processing (which is required to mentally represent the essential material as provided), and generative processing are three demands on the learner's cognitive capacity during learning (which is aimed at making sense of the material). Reduce unnecessary processing (for unnecessary overload circumstances), manage vital processing (for essential overload circumstances), and stimulate generative processing are three educational goals (for generative underuse situations).Multimedia Instructional messages should be written in such a way that they guide appropriate cognitive processing while learning without overburdening the learner's cognitive system.
