This white paper discusses the cognitive science of learning and its implications for eLearning multimedia design. It provides an overview of cognitive science, neuroscience, and learning theories. Key points include: (1) cognitive science studies human intelligence and knowledge acquisition, (2) neuroscience focuses on the brain and nervous system, (3) learning theories examine how information moves from sensory input to short and long-term memory, (4) the brain forms associations between inputs by strengthening synaptic connections, (5) cognitive strategies can facilitate transferring information from short to long-term memory. The paper then discusses principles for effective multimedia design grounded in cognitive load theory, dual coding theory, and cognitive flexibility theory.
