Answer 2

Answer:

John Sweller

Explanation:

Cognitive load theory was created by  John Sweller in the late 1980s arguing that instructional design can be used to reduce the cognitive load in learners.   Cognitive load refers to the amount of information that the working memory can hold at one particular moment. The cognitive load theory is designed to assist in the presentation of information in a way that encourages learner activities which optimize the intellectual performance for the learner to fully understand. Sweller argues that since the working memory has a limited capacity, instruction methods should not overload it with supplementary activities which don't contribute directly to education.
