demonstrate the cognitive benefits of using kineticdiagrams based on Cognitive Load Theory, an instructional design framework derived from thecognitive architecture.Just like we need to follow laws of motion to design machines as engineers, we, as mechanicsinstructors, should develop instruction strategies by following principles of learning. According toCognitive Load Theory, learning will be hindered if the cognitive load exceeds working memorycapacity [6]. The cognitive load could be imposed by either the intrinsic nature of learningmaterials (i.e., intrinsic cognitive load) or the instruction manners in which the materials arepresented (i.e., extraneous cognitive load). Therefore, we need to keep students’ working memorylimitation in mind when we
