Optimising worked example instruction: Different ways to increase germane cognitive load [PDF]
Worked examples are an effective instructional means to teach complex problem-solving skills. It has been argued that worked examples decrease extraneous load, enabling more Working Memory (WM) resources to be directed to activities that facilitate learning and transfer performance.

Is it not too redundant? When signaling overlap reduces extraneous load and enhances retention in a software video tutorial [PDF]
The 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 ...

Using eye movements, electrodermal activities, and heart rates to predict different types of cognitive load during reading with background music [PDF]
The triarchic model of cognitive load postulates three types of cognitive load—extraneous, intrinsic, and germane load. While various approaches have been proposed to measure the three types of cognitive load, most measurements are intrusive.
