When building knowledge, for example, I tend to overwhelm with examples but now work to offer limited, more impactful examples followed by concept-matching (versus just presenting the concepts upfront). I try to utilize Dirksen’s recommendations, derived from Csikszentmihalyi’s “flow,” when thinking about how to structure practice.

There are a plethora of Principles (Multimedia, Contiguity, Modality, Redundancy, Coherence and many more) that are supported by discussions of the psychological foundations of and evidence for utilization. (Despite the volume of Principles, each is addresses rather succinctly.)
