The concept of 'cognitive load' refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory. In educational settings, instructional designers often aim to manage cognitive load to optimize learning. According to cognitive load theory, learning is hampered when the working memory is overloaded with extraneous information that does not contribute to schema acquisition. However, intrinsic load, which is inherent to the complexity of the material, cannot be reduced without simplifying the content itself. Germane load, on the other hand, is the effort devoted to processing and understanding the material, which is beneficial for learning. Effective instructional design seeks to minimize extraneous load while promoting germane load, thereby facilitating the construction of mental schemas.
