Germane cognitive load is essential for learning, as it involves building mental schemas and organizing information.

“And there's something called cognitive load theory that breaks down sort of what happens when our brains are under states of uh you know load. And that load can come from sort of three different places. It might be coming from intrinsic uh what you would call intrinsic information which is what and this is all during learning the intrinsic load cognitive load load would be from uh you know the difficulty of the material I'm trying to understand how you know really some things are easy to learn some things are a lot harder and that's intrinsic load extraneous load would be the load that comes from how the information is presented uh is it poorly taught is it poorly organized or also in the environment. If it's I'm trying to learn something auditorially and it's noisy, that's introducing extraneous cognitive load, right? It's it just it's not the information itself, but it's because of everything else happening with that data. And then the third is germaine cognitive load. And that's the load that is used in my brain to build mental schemas to build to organize that information to to really develop a representation of what that information is that I'm taking in.”
