Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Decades of instructional design in the corporate and academic world have relied on a fundamentally flawed format: displaying a complex graphic on a screen right next to a massive paragraph of explanatory text. Cognitive psychology has definitively proven that this approach actively destroys learning. To optimize comprehension, educators must obey the Modality Principle.Pioneered by Richard Mayer, this principle proves that the human brain possesses two separate, limited processing channels: visual and auditory. When you force a student to look at a complex diagram while simultaneously reading text, both tasks overload the single visual channel, causing a massive processing bottleneck. However, if you show the exact same diagram and speak the explanation out loud, the brain perfectly balances the load across both the visual and auditory channels, resulting in a staggering increase in memory retention.This book breaks down the severe biological limitations of the human working memory. We explore how to ruthlessly strip text off presentation slides to prevent the brain from short-circuiting during complex skill acquisition.Stop forcing your audience to read. Learn the neurological hack of splitting information perfectly across the eyes and the ears.…
