Implications of Cognitive Load Theory in Teaching

I had a dialog with ChatGPT on the meaning and implications of Cognitive Load Therapy in education. My main interest in learning more about Cognitive Load Therapy originated from the observation that I am unable to capture my student's attention for 10 minutes (at most). I don't think that a shrinking attention span is only caused by a cognitive load that is too high, but this dialog gave me some clues for improvements in my presentation I still sometimes give in my classes.
Given the sheer size of the dialog it is of course not meant to be fully read. Just browse through it and pay attention to the user prompts that follow-through on specific details in Cognitive Load Therapy.

Here's the chat I had with GenAI (ChatGPT).
