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 ...

Prediction of intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load with oculometric and biometric indicators
Scientific ReportsAbstract This study focused on the prediction of intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load using eye-tracking metrics, heart rate variability, and galvanic skin response. Intrinsic cognitive load is associated with the inherent complexity of the mental task, whereas extraneous cognitive load is related to the distracting and unrelated elements ...

Using eye movements, electrodermal activities, and heart rates to predict different types of cognitive load during reading with background music. [PDF]
Sci RepThe 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.
