Summary of Help! My brain is overloaded!

This article has some quotes from John Sweller, from the School of Education. This article was published on 23rd March 2007, and its name is Help! My brain is overloaded. This article talks about the human brain and how much information is considered overloaded. The human brain can usually hold three to four items at the same time remembering them for three to four seconds without rehearsal. Almost all the information we get goes after 20 seconds unless there is rehearsal. Working memory is only limited when you learn new things though. PowerPoint presentations can backfire the information because the audience’s attention will be split in two.
