The PAPER heuristic: a structured cognitive aid to reduce intrinsic cognitive load in early clinical reasoning training. [PDF]
Abstract Background Clinical reasoning is a key competency in undergraduate medical education but is often taught implicitly. Structured approaches such as acronyms may help support students in developing this skill, especially in complex or high-stakes situations.

Understanding instructional design effects by differentiated measurement of intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load [PDF]
AbstractInstructional design deals with the optimization of learning processes. To achieve this, three aspects need to be considered: (1) the learning task itself, (2) the design of the learning material, and (3) the activation of the learner’s cognitive processes during learning. Based on Cognitive Load Theory, learners also need to deal with the task

Using subjective measures to detect variations of intrinsic cognitive load within problems
Abstract Cognitive load theorists have frequently used subjective measures of cognitive load to test the effectiveness of instructional procedures. This study sought to broaden the applications of subjective measures by testing their ability to detect variations in intrinsic cognitive load within tasks.
