Cognitive load examination via pen interactions
Cognitive load refers to the mental effort when a cognitive task is conducted. As an important mental construct affecting task performance and subjective experience, cognitive load is considered a key factor in human-computer interaction system design and user operation efficiency improvement. …

The Effect of Cognitive Load on Illusory Correlation
… judgment by examining how varying the level of cognitive load during encoding of social stimuli affected the amount of illusory correlation. If the level of illusory correlation increases in a monotonic relationship with increasing cognitive load, then this type of increase would provide …

Advertising distractor devaluation under perceptual and cognitive load
… is named “distractor devaluation” in both cognitive psychology (Fenske & Raymond, 2006) and advertising research (Duff & Faber, 2011). Recent advertising research demonstrates that when ads are embedded beside a central task, people tend to ignore them when focusing on the task. We examined …

Manipulation of Cognitive Load in Simulation-Based Medical Education
… in real time, using the fundamentals of cognitive load theory. This approach requires accurate measurement of cognitive load. In this study, we investigate whether self-reported assessment of cognitive load using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and measurement of the galvanic skin response …

The predictive power of the presences on cognitive load
… focusing on the predictive power of teaching, cognitive and social presence on intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive load. More specifically, this study investigated the predictive relationships between the presences and cognitive load types through multiple regression analyses. This …

cGMP Training Programs: Understanding the Effects of Cognitive Load
… and the training on cGMPs is notoriously boring. Cognitive Load Theory has helped to improve instructional efficiency and trainee satisfaction in a variety of fields to the point that it has been stated by educational researchers that it is the single most important thing for teachers to know. …

Novel Approaches to Cognitive Load Estimation in Automated Driving Systems
… aid the driver by reducing the required workload and by improving road safety. However, the present-day ADS requires the human driver to remain vigilant at all times and be ready to take over whenever the driving task requires. Thus, continuous monitoring of the drivers is important for …

Applying Cognitive Load Theory to the Design of Online Learning.
… the study was to investigate the application of cognitive load theory to the design of online instruction. Students in three different courses (N = 146) were measured on both learning performance and perceptions of mental effort to see if there were any statistically significant differences. The …

Knowledge updating in jurors : cognitive load affects juror decision making.
… at Time 2. In Experiment 2, we manipulated cognitive load by having the jurors memorize a series of numbers during summary reading and videotape viewing. Jurors in the cognitive load condition were less likely to vote guilty after reading the summary and were less likely to modify their …

Measuring Cognitive Load in a Clinical Setting: Medical Learning and Practice
Cognitive load theory is of particular relevance to the learning and practice of medicine, where task demands require a complex interplay of working memory, emotion, and stress. To better understand the role of cognitive load in the performance of medical learners and expert physicians, this thesis …

Effektivität von interaktivem außerschulischem Unterricht vor dem Hintergrund der Cognitive Load-Theorie
Anspruchsvolle Lernumgebungen zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass Schüler über den reinen Wissenserwerb hinaus viele kognitive Ressourcen für die Anwendung von Schlüsselkompetenzen (Koordination, Zusammenarbeit, Planung, Orientierung, …) aufwenden müssen. Eine Förderung dieser Kompetenzen ist …

Measuring changes in cognitive load in language processing through measuring postural sway
… standing balance as a way to measure changes in cognitive load during language processing. Changes in standing balance are measured as subjects process vocabulary words, sentences, and paragraphs with varying degrees of relative difficulty. It is predicted that the more difficult the content, the …

Holistic versus Decomposed Rating Scales: Which causes higher levels of cognitive load?
… job analysis items lead to a higher level of cognitive load for raters. The main study, involving 303 undergraduate university students, was a 2 (Type of measure: holistic or decomposed) X 2 (Level of extraneous cognitive load: additional load or no additional load) within-subjects design. The …

The tired and the blind. The effect of cognitive load on social norms
En este estudio, realizamos un experimento de laboratorio para examinar los efectos de aumentar la carga cognitiva sobre la propensión a seguir reglas, las expectativas normativas y las creencias normativas personales. Variamos la intensidad de la carga cognitiva a la que fueron expuestos los …

On the disambiguation of meaning: the effects of perceptual focus and cognitive load
… of perceptual focus (Experiment 2) and cognitive load (Experiment 3) were employed to examine these processes. Results agree with Gernsbacher's Structure-Building Framework (a suppression account) of meaning selection. An updated conceptualization of ambiguity resolution is proposed.</p>

Type of Glossing Affects Cognitive Load and Retrieval of Meaning During L2 Reading
… studies addressing the effect of glossing on cognitive effort in language learning, the present work aims at exploring the role of first language glossing in facilitating reading by describing the results of an intervention using different reading conditions in an English reading programme. In …

The influence of digital distraction on cognitive load, attention conflict and meeting productivity
… performance, given individual differences in cognitive processing, is limited. Moreover, no experimental studies could be found that have investigated these relationships. It is hoped that the results of the present study will address the gap that was identified in the literature, as well as …
