N2  - This title provides a comprehensive and critical overview on learning accounting. It illustrates that when learners need to mentally integrate two or more distinct items of information, it places unnecessary demands on cognitive load. The book discusses the cognitive load theory which assumes that the task of mental integration increases the load on already limited working memory, and it does so to such an extent that learning may be severely impeded
