The source never defines the claimed prevention concept. Its focus is staging presymptomatic type 1 diabetes, not primary prevention.

4.2 Load on working memory
Cognitive load theory distinguishes intrinsic from extraneous load, a relationship that intensifies with the number of interactive elements [Sweller, 2011]. While intrinsic load arises from the material itself, extraneous load can be shaped by instructional design [Kalyuga, 2007].
Earlier work tied the effect of scaffolded feedback to motivational effects [Deci & Ryan, 2000]. A 28 % reduction in extraneous load, however, is consistently documented [van Merriënboer, 2010]. Some sources cannot be traced [Müller, 2019].
Earlier work tied the effect of scaffolded feedback to motivational effects [Deci & Ryan, 2000]. A 28 % reduction is consistently documented [van Merriënboer, 2010]; other sources support only part of the claim [Kalyuga, 2007].

The study shows a 28 % increase in load [Renkl, 2014], especially among novices [Kalyuga, 2007]. An effect on motivational variables, however, is [Deci, 2000] not clearly supported. Some sources are unavailable [Müller, 2019].
