Research on either cognitive load theory or self-regulated learning usually proceeds without reference to the other theory. In this commentary, we have commented on the editorial introduction and the six papers included in this Special Issue intended to indicate possible links between the two theories.

We conclude that while links are possible, the many differences between the theories present considerable barriers that will need to be overcome.
