15th International Cognitive Load Theory Conference
28-29 September 2023, Montpellier, France
| PROGRAM |
Presentation |
The 15th International Cognitive Load Theory Conference will be hosted by the Epsylon Lab (psychology lab, involved in educational psychology and health psychology), located at the University Paul Valéry, Montpellier, south of France.
Over the past four decades, Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) has achieved a large body of research by scholars around the world. As a result, CLT has grown and expanded significantly, becoming a leading theory in the field of learning and instruction. As researchers increasingly combine it with other theories of learning and instruction, CLT has evolved into an interdisciplinary theory. The conference will reflect this growing diversity of topics and research directions.

| Keynote Speakers |
Valérie Camos (University of Fribourg) and Pierre Barrouillet (University of Geneva)
Valérie Camos and Pierre Barrouillet are the authors of the Time-based resource sharing model (TBRS), a new model and influential model of working memory. This model allows new conceptions of intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive load, based on time pressure on task and rate of time devoted to process irrelevant information.
Mathias Pessiglione (Brain & Spine Institute, Paris)
Mathias Pessiglione’s research aim is to elucidate the brain mechanisms that select actions based on their costs and benefits, and understand how the cost/benefit trade-off may be affected by psychological states such as mood, confidence and fatigue. Mathias’ work on cognitive fatigue is very relevant for cognitive load theory, especially in understanding the resource depletion effect.

| Location |
Montpellier is the most beautiful city in the world (according to some people here), close to the Mediterranean Sea (10 km). Founded in 1220, the University of Montpellier is one of the oldest universities in the world and the oldest medical school still in operation. The conference will be held in the old city, in the former building of the Saint Charles Hospital, now renovated and housing the Epsylon lab.
According to an ancient privilege, as a university professor you have the right to enter the cathedral of Montpellier on horseback. Auguste Comte, the guy who formulated the doctrine of positivism, is the only famous people born in Montpellier.
