When used appropriately one delivery system is unlikely Th first level of instructional strategy is Information-centred and Merrill defines this as one which “tells learners associations among two or more pieces of information; the name and description of one or more parts; the defining characteristics of a class of objects, situations, or processes; the steps and sequence to carry out a procedure; or the conditions and consequence for the events in a process.” He argues that too much teaching is information rich but example poor.

The key difference is that a problem-centred approach first teaches learners all of the knowledge and skills needed to solve the problem or make a case decision whereas problem and case-based learning events often require the learners to acquire some of the necessary knowledge and skills whilst they are actually engaged in problem-solving or case-based learning. 23-43). prescription and its corollaries are concisely stated first and the Merrill's Principles of Instruction include more demonstrations and support in order to gradually build knowledge and experience. 371-396).

Merrill’s view is that presenting large amounts of information and expecting learners to be able to both process and understand it is unlikely to be effective as their ability to understand it, remember it and apply it is limited by factors such as varying attention spans, the limitations of working memory, variations in prior knowledge, and incorrect, incomplete or even non-existent mental models.
