This article reviews contemporary research on multimedia learning that uses cognitive load theory as the major theoretical framework. In particular, we address extent to which working memory has been conceptualized and measured in this research, what kind of subjective measures have used whether such are combined with other load, how results from related achievement.

The present study examined whether observed differences in naturally occurring classroom instruction of reading comprehension strategies were reflected students' independent use to comprehend expository text. Based on a descriptive 4 ninth‐grade language arts classrooms, participants divided into two groups depending the amount that had been their classrooms.
