Cognitive Load Theory and Institutional Knowledge Retention

An investigation into how modern Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is applied in institutional settings to regulate information intake and limit critical inquiry.

CLT often serves as a tactical boundary, limiting the learner's ability to 'Name the Lie' by overwhelming cognitive capacity with procedural minutiae, thus shielding the core curriculum from scrutiny.
