# Learning Science Guide
A comprehensive skill for applying evidence-based learning science principles to educational research, instructional design, and teaching practice. Grounded in cognitive psychology and educational neuroscience.
## Foundational Learning Theories
### Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, 1988)
Working memory has limited capacity. Effective instruction manages three types of cognitive load:
| Load Type | Definition | Design Strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
| Intrinsic | Complexity inherent to the material | Sequence from simple to complex; chunk information |
| Extraneous | Load from poor instructional design | Eliminate redundancy; use spatial contiguity |
