Capacity theory was introduced by Shalom Fisch in 2000. It is a communication theory based on model which is used to explain and predict how children learn from educational television programing. It is formed by combining cognitive psychology and limited capacity of working memory. Working memory is explained as having limited resources available for processing external information and when demands exceed capabilities, then the material will not be attended to. The model attempts to explain how cognitive resources are allocated when individuals, particularly children, comprehend both the educational and the narrative content of an educational program Capacity theory suggests that when educational content is tangential to the narrative content the two information sources compete with one another for limited resources in working memory. However, when the distance between educational content and narrative content is small, the process complement one another rather than compete for resources, therefore an individual is likely comprehend more. == Three basic components of the capacity model == The capacity model consists of three basic components. # ''Processing of narrative content'' # ''Processing of education content'' # ''Distance between narrative and educational content'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capacity theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
