Decorative animations impair recall and are a source of extraneous cognitive load [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology - Advances in Physiology Education, 2020 Working memory is critical for learning but has a limited capacity for processing new information in real time. Cognitive load theory is an evidence-based approach to education that seeks to minimize the extraneous (unnecessary) load on working memory to avoid overloading it. The “seductive details effect” postulates that extraneous load can come from

Element Interactivity and Intrinsic, Extraneous, and Germane Cognitive Load
Educational Psychology Review, 2010 In cognitive load theory, element interactivity has been used as the basic, defining mechanism of intrinsic cognitive load for many years. In this article, it is suggested that element interactivity underlies extraneous cognitive load as well. By defining extraneous cognitive load in terms of element interactivity, a distinct relation between intrinsic

Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2019 Cognitive Load Theory has been conceived for supporting instructional design through the use of the construct of cognitive load. This is believed to be built upon three types of load: intrinsic, extraneous and germane. Although Cognitive Load Theory and its assumptions are clear and well-known, its three types of load have been going through a ...

Development and Validation of Two Instruments Measuring Intrinsic, Extraneous, and Germane Cognitive Load [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Cognitive Load Theory is one of the most powerful research frameworks in educational research. Beside theoretical discussions about the conceptual parts of cognitive load, the main challenge within this framework is that there is still no measurement instrument for the different aspects of cognitive load, namely intrinsic, extraneous, and germane ...

Chunking Technique with Writing is Thinking to Control Students' Extraneous Cognitive Load
Bioedukasi: Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi, 2022 Extraneous cognitive load (ECL) is a related to the design or learning strategies in learning activities. This study aims to control students’ extraneous cognitive load by using chunking technique with writing is thinking in the human reproductive system

Is it not too redundant? When signaling overlap reduces extraneous load and enhances retention in a software video tutorial [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyThe redundancy effect in Cognitive Load Theory posits that presenting overlapping information across multiple channels (e.g., duplicate auditory and visual content) can impede learning by increasing extraneous cognitive load and hindering mental model ...

Can students benefit from prompting during experimentation? An investigation of the benefits of incremental scaffolds compared to sample solutions on cognitive load and flow experience in biology lessons [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionPrevious studies have shown that incremental scaffolds can support learners during the cognitively demanding task of experimentation, both cognitively and affectively.
