reducing extraneous processing

Extraneous processing overload

-occurs when cognitive processing of irrelevant material hinders information retention

Managing essential processing

Essential processing overload

- Occurs when the demand for cognitive processing is not compatible with the time given -Leads to shallow understanding

Fostering generative processing

Generative processing underutilization
