Measurement of Extraneous and Germane Cognitive Load in the Mathematics Addition Task: An Event-Related Potential Study [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Cognitive load significantly influences learning effectiveness. All the three types of cognitive load—intrinsic, extraneous, and germane—are important for guiding teachers in preparing effective instructional designs for students. However, the techniques

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 ...

What does germane load mean? An empirical contribution to the cognitive load theory [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 While over the last decades, much attention has been paid to the mental workload in the field of human computer interactions, there is still a lack of consensus concerning the factors that generate it as well as the measurement methods that could reflect

The Evolution of Cognitive Load Theory and the Measurement of Its Intrinsic, Extraneous and Germane Loads: A Review [PDF]
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 ...

An Investigative Study on the Effects of Pedagogical Agents on Intrinsic, Extraneous and Germane Cognitive Load: Experimental Findings With Dyscalculia and Non-Dyscalculia Learners [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2022 Several studies have warranted the need to explore the relationship between pedagogical agents in the learning environment and the cognitive load on the learners, specifically, to study the influence on learner populations with different learning and ...

How role-taking in a group-work setting affects the relationship between the amount of collaboration and germane cognitive load [PDF]
International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2021 This research investigates how learning groups affect student learning from two perspectives: first, the amount of group work students do, and second, the role that they take within the group.

Example-based learning in heuristic domains: can using relevant content knowledge support the effective allocation of intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load? [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionWorked examples support initial skill acquisition. They often show skill application on content knowledge from another, “exemplifying” domain (e.g., argumentation skills have to be applied to some contents). Although learners’ focus should remain on the skill, learners need to understand the content knowledge to benefit from worked examples.

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

The instructional modality used for contextual vertical integration of anatomy influences cognitive load and performance during an operative interpretation task in undergraduate gynaecology students: evidence from a multi-centre cluster-randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineIntroductionOperative interpretation is central to the educational value of theatre placements, yet students often struggle to apply preclinical anatomy to the operative setting.
