What is CognitiveLoad and How Does it
Effect Creativity??
Monday, September 23, 13
Creativity is effected when mental effort exceeds experience
Improperly managed complex information
results in lower performance levels...
(Sweller, 1988)
Monday, September 23, 13
In this training students will:• Learn tools to facilitate higher
levels of critical thinking.• Learn techniques to mitigate
the effects of cognitive load.• Use adaptive creative processes
for innovative design solutions.Tutorial Goal
Monday, September 23, 13
To determine the effects of cognitive
load on the process of creativity a needs
analysis survey was performed.

Needs Analysis and Assessment: 1.0 The Learning Problem• Beginning design students
required to perform critical analysis and tasks.
2.0 What is Currently Available?• Inadequite course offerings
available to understand how design process interacts to facilitate solutions.
RESULTS!

Needs Analysis and Assessment: 3.0 What should be available?• Course offerings made avialble
to help students become skilled at critical thinking methods.
4.0 Gap Analysis• Beginning students are unable
to bridge the gap between cognitive intelligence and innovative forcasting.

End
Needs Analysis and Assessment: 5.0 What are the recommented solutions for filling the gap ?• Interactive e-learning training
module instructing novice design students in the creative intelligent process required to evaluate and implement creative design solutions.

Upon completion of “Cognitive Load and Creativity” Training
Tutorial, the beginning design student will learn
tools and resources to mitigate the effects of cognitive load on their
creative process.
