For over three decades, cognitive load theory (CLT) has drawn on models of cognitive architecture—including a working memory whose capacity and duration limits can be substantially reduced when domain-specific schemas are activated from long-term memory—to generate and test instructional design hypotheses. 1, record 1, English, - cognitive%20load%20theory

La lithosphère est l'enveloppe la plus externe de la Terre qui comprend la croûte et une partie du manteau sous-jacent. On distingue trois lithosphères, thermique, chimique et mécanique. La lithosphère thermique est caractérisée par une forte augmentation de la température avec la profondeur, contrairement au manteau sous-jacent qui est quasiment à une température uniforme. Elle correspond à la couche limite thermique supérieure du manteau en convection. [...] La lithosphère thermique est par définition la couche limite thermique supérieure du domaine convectif [...] 4, record 6, French, - couche%20limite%20thermique
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La région se trouvant entre le noyau et le manteau est appelée la «couche D» qui est uniquement conductrice de chaleur; une région conductrice séparée par deux zones convectives est appelée une couche-limite thermique. Dans de telles zones, se développent des hétérogénéités thermiques mais aussi des hétérogénéités dans la structure (la vitesse des ondes élastiques n'augmente pas autant que dans le reste du manteau inférieur). 5, record 6, French, - couche%20limite%20thermique
