  • Cer­tain strate­gies can help to reduce the load on work­ing mem­ory. Teach­ers should model and stu­dents should employ the fol­low­ing devices:

     
     
    • Pro­vide help, cues, mnemon­ics, reminders.
     
    • KISS (Keep It Sim­ple, Stupid!)(example: use short, sim­ple sen­tences, present much of the instruc­tion as pictures/diagrams).
     
    • Don’t present so much infor­ma­tion. Less can be more.
     
    • Facil­i­tate rehearsal, using only rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion and no distractors.
     
    • Get engaged, by tak­ing notes, and cre­at­ing dia­grams and con­cept maps.
     
    • Attach mean­ing from what is already known. (The more you know, the more you can know).
     
    • Orga­nize infor­ma­tion in small categories.
     
    • Break down tasks into small chunks. Mas­ter each chunk sequen­tially, one at a time.
