Abstract

It is well-known that cognitive factors decline with age which due to older people tends to have more difficulty learning compliable. Although some researchers indicated that Cognitive Load Theory (CLT)-based training formats meet the cognitive abilities of elderly learners particularly well, the mapping of instructional design principle and their combination of procedural instruction for elder learner is still not clear. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review the literature on how properly design principle and what type of instruction can be better support elderly people in completing procedural task. To conclude, our literature review shows that the key to optimal procedural learning in the elderly might be determined as combination of dynamic and static visualizations by using the cognitive related theory to supporting skill acquisition.
