Listen "Application of Cognitive Load Theory in Precepting (Unit 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we review cognitive load theory and share three practical strategies for preceptors: structure information and control the environment to avoid distractions, use worked examples (checklists, flow sheets, visuals) to model tasks, and scaffold responsibilities so learners take on complexity gradually.
These simple changes reduce unnecessary mental effort, free working memory for core learning, and make orientation more effective and efficient.
