This page lists learning techniques for reducing cognitive load.
- Worked-example effect
- Spaced repetition (kind of, especially when used in a specific way; see [1] for some ideas)
- Related to the previous point, but spending a lot of time with the "basic conceptual building blocks" for an idea before moving on to the idea itself, i.e. making sure you understand the prerequisites well.
- In math, various ways of justifying steps differ in terms of cognitive load:
- Having a string of equalities like A=B=C=D and saying "where the first equality follows from ..., the second follows from ..."
- A format like:
- A = B (justification 1)
- = C (justification 2)
- = D (justification 3)
- A = B (justification 1)
- Tabular proofs with a justification column
