In the late 1980s, John Sweller developed cognitive load theory out of a study of problem solving, [2] in order "to provide guidelines intended to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimize intellectual performance". [8]
The worked-example effect is a learning effect predicted by cognitive load theory. [1] [full citation needed] Specifically, it refers to improved learning observed when worked examples are used as part of instruction, compared to other instructional techniques such as problem-solving [2] [page needed] and discovery learning.
John Sweller (born 1946) is an Australian educational psychologist who is best known for formulating an influential theory of cognitive load. [1] He is currently (i.e., 2020) Professor Emeritus at the University of New South Wales .
Chandler and Sweller found through empirical study that the integration of text and diagrams reduces cognitive load and facilitates learning. [5] They found that the split-attention effect is evident when learners are required to split their attention between different sources of information (e.g., text and diagrams).
Sweller et al. conducted several classroom-based studies with students studying algebra problems. [41] These studies have shown that active problem solving early in the learning process is a less effective instructional strategy than studying worked examples (Sweller and Cooper, 1985; Cooper and Sweller, 1987). Certainly active problem solving ...

The cognitive perspective focuses on the cognitive processes involved in learning as well as how the brain works. [7] The emotional perspective focuses on the emotional aspects of learning, like motivation, engagement, fun, etc. [8] The behavioural perspective focuses on the skills and behavioural outcomes of the learning process.
