Cognitive load measurement is an important aspect of educational research. Current cognitive load surveys differentiate between intrinsic cognitive load (resulting from the complexity of learning materials) and their extraneous cognitive load (which is increased by a demanding design). In two studies, order effects of cognitive load subscales are demonstrated. Asking learners regarding their intrinsic load first increases their responses concerning this type of load, with little effect on extraneous load ratings. This effect can be replicated even when extraneous load is intentionally induced. This finding has important implications for cognitive load research, as the order of surveys appears to bias cognitive load ratings. As most cognitive load research is conducted to find ways of reducing extraneous load, it may be reasonable to carefully consider whether and when intrinsic load items are included in studies. Generally, the results show that study participants seem to emphasize certain demands, similar to a dialogue. 相似文献

Recent studies about learning and instruction use cognitive load measurement to pay attention to the human cognitive resources and to the consumption of these resources during the learning process. In order to validate different measures of cognitive load for different cognitive load factors, the present study compares three different methods of objective cognitive load measurement and one subjective method. An experimental three-group design (N = 78) was used, with exposure to seductive details (extraneous cognitive load factor), mental animation tasks (germane cognitive load factor), or the basic learning instruction (control group). Cognitive load was measured by the rhythm method (Park and Brünken 2015), the index of cognitive activity (ICA) (Marshall 2007), and the subjective ratings of mental effort and task difficulty (Paas 1992). Eye-tracking data were used to analyze the attention allocation and as an indicator for cognitive activity. The results show a significantly higher cognitive load for the mental animation group in contrast to the control and the seductive detail group, indicated by rhythm method and subjective ratings, as well as a higher cognitive activity, indicated by eye tracking. Furthermore, the mental animation group shows significantly higher comprehension performance in contrast to the seductive detail group and significantly higher transfer performance in contrast to the control group. The ICA values showed no significant differences in cognitive load. The results provide evidence for the benefits of combining eye-tracking analysis and the results of cognitive load ratings or secondary task performance for a direct and continuous cognitive load assessment and for a differentiating access to the single cognitive load factors. 相似文献

The development of flexible, transferable problem-solving skills is an important aim of contemporary educational systems.
Since processing limitations of our mind represent a major factor influencing any meaningful learning, the acquisition of
flexible problem-solving skills needs to be based on known characteristics of our cognitive architecture in order to be effective
and efficient. This paper takes a closer look at the processes involved in the acquisition of flexible problem-solving skills
within a cognitive load framework. It concludes that (1) cognitive load theory can benefit from putting more emphasis on generalized
knowledge structures; (2) there are tradeoffs between generality and power with respect to specific versus generalized knowledge
structures; (3) generalized knowledge structures of “medium” generality are essential for flexible expertise; and (4) cognitive
load theory could provide a valuable framework for considering essential attributes of flexible expertise. 相似文献

Effects of the Physical Environment on Cognitive Load and Learning: Towards a New Model of Cognitive Load 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Although the theoretical framework of cognitive load theory has acknowledged a role for the learning environment, the specific characteristics of the physical learning environment that could affect cognitive load have never been considered, neither theoretically nor empirically. In this article, we argue that the physical learning environment, and more specifically its effects on cognitive load, can be regarded as a determinant of the effectiveness of instruction. We present an updated version of the cognitive load model of Paas and Van Merriënboer (Educational Psychology Review, 6:351–371, 1994a), in which the physical learning environment is considered a distinct causal factor that can interact with learner characteristics, learning-task characteristics, or a combination of both. Previous research into effects of the physical learning environment on cognitive performance that could inspire new cognitive load research is discussed, and a future research agenda is sketched. 相似文献

Application of physiological methods, in particular electroencephalography (EEG), offers new and promising approaches to educational
psychology research. EEG is identified as a physiological index that can serve as an online, continuous measure of cognitive
load detecting subtle fluctuations in instantaneous load, which can help explain effects of instructional interventions when
measures of overall cognitive load fail to reflect such differences in cognitive processing. This paper presents a review
of seminal literature on the use of continuous EEG to measure cognitive load and describes two case studies on learning from
hypertext and multimedia that employed EEG methodology to collect and analyze cognitive load data. 相似文献

The contributions to this special issue document some recent advances of cognitive load theory, and are based on contributions
to the Third International Cognitive Load Theory Conference (2009), Heerlen, The Netherlands. The contributions focus on developments
in example-based learning, amongst others on the effects of integrating worked examples in cognitive tutoring systems; specify
the effects of transience on cognitive load and why segmentation may help counteract these effects in terms of the role of
time in working memory load; and discuss the possibilities offered by electroencephalography (EEG) to provide a continuous
and objective measure of cognitive load. This article provides a short introduction to the contributions in this issue. 相似文献

Cognitive load measurement is a methodological issue of high importance in all learning settings involving a high perceptual richness, such as virtual and augmented reality. As a result of the growing number of cognitive load measurement methods and surveys, it can be difficult to choose the optimal measurement instrument for learning tasks in perceptually rich environments. Current research suggests that survey-based methods do not necessarily have to be less valid than physiological measures. Furthermore, in several studies, single-item measures of cognitive load have shown a high negative correspondence with learning outcomes. A trend toward a more fine-grained analysis of different components of cognitive load can be observed, but the ability to detect cognitive load depends on selecting an appropriate survey for the specific task. Based on this narrative overview on current developments in cognitive load measurement, recommendations for deciding on a cognitive load measurement method are given. 相似文献

This article reviews contemporary research on multimedia learning that uses cognitive load theory as the major theoretical framework. In particular, we address the extent to which working memory has been conceptualized and measured in this research, what kind of subjective measures of cognitive load have been used and whether such measures are combined with other measures of cognitive load, and how results from subjective measures have been related to learning and achievement. The findings show that most of the reviewed studies did not include any clear conceptualization or measurement of working memory, used only general subjective measures containing one or very few items, and did not report findings consistent with the hypothesized relationship between cognitive load and multimedia learning. The findings are discussed in relation to the broader goal of improving research on cognitive load in the context of multimedia learning. 相似文献

Cognitive Load Theory and Complex Learning: Recent Developments and Future Directions 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
Traditionally, Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) has focused on instructional methods to decrease extraneous cognitive load so that available cognitive resources can be fully devoted to learning. This article strengthens the cognitive base of CLT by linking cognitive processes to the processes used by biological evolution. The article discusses recent developments in CLT related to the current view in instructional design that real-life tasks should be the driving force for complex learning. First, the complexity, or intrinsic cognitive load, of such tasks is often high so that new methods are needed to manage cognitive load. Second, complex learning is a lengthy process requiring learners motivational states and levels of expertise development to be taken into account. Third, this perspective requires more advanced methods to measure expertise and cognitive load so that instruction can be flexibly adapted to individual learners needs. Experimental studies are reviewed to illustrate these recent developments. Guidelines for future research are provided. 相似文献

Depletion of limited working memory resources may occur following extensive mental effort resulting in decreased performance compared to conditions requiring less extensive mental effort. This “depletion effect” can be incorporated into cognitive load theory that is concerned with using the properties of human cognitive architecture, especially working memory, when designing instruction. Two experiments were carried out on the spacing effect that occurs when learning that is spaced by temporal gaps between learning episodes is superior to identical, massed learning with no gaps between learning episodes. Using primary school students learning mathematics, it was found that students obtained lower scores on a working memory capacity test (Experiments 1 and 2) and higher ratings of cognitive load (Experiment 2) after massed than after spaced practice. The reduction in working memory capacity may be attributed to working memory resource depletion following the relatively prolonged mental effort associated with massed compared to spaced practice. An expansion of cognitive load theory to incorporate working memory resource depletion along with instructional design implications, including the spacing effect, is discussed. 相似文献

Cognitive Load Theory: New Conceptualizations,Specifications, and Integrated Research Perspectives 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Over the last few years, cognitive load theory has progressed and advanced rapidly. The articles in this special issue, which
document those advances, are based on contributions to the 3rd International Cognitive Load Theory Conference (2009), Heerlen,
The Netherlands. The articles of this special issue on cognitive load theory discuss new conceptualizations of the different
categories of cognitive load, an integrated research perspective of process-oriented and cognitive load approaches to collaborative
learning, an integrated research perspective of cognitive and social–cognitive approaches to example-based learning, and a
specification of the theory focusing on the acquisition of generalized knowledge structures as a means to facilitate flexible
problem-solving skills. This article provides a short introduction to the theory, discusses some of its recent advances, and
provides an overview of the contributions to this issue. 相似文献

A Cognitive Load Approach to Collaborative Learning: United Brains for Complex Tasks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents a review of research comparing the effectiveness of individual learning environments with collaborative
learning environments. In reviewing the literature, it was determined that there is no clear and unequivocal picture of how,
when, and why the effectiveness of these two approaches to learning differ, a result which may be due to differing complexities
of the learning tasks used in the research and the concomitant load imposed on the learner’s cognitive system. Based upon
cognitive load theory, it is argued that learning by an individual becomes less effective and efficient than learning by a
group of individuals as task complexity increases. Dividing the processing of information across individuals is useful when
the cognitive load is high because it allows information to be divided across a larger reservoir of cognitive capacity. Although
such division requires that information be recombined and that processing be coordinated, under high load conditions, these
costs are minimal compared to the gain achieved by this division of labor. In contrast, under low load conditions, an individual
can adequately carry out the required processing activities, and the costs of recombination and coordination are relatively
more substantial. Implications of these ideas for research and practice of collaborative learning are discussed. 相似文献

According to cognitive load theory (CLT), the limitations of working memory (WM) in the learning of new tasks together with its ability to cooperate with an unlimited long-term memory (LTM) for familiar tasks enable human beings to deal effectively with complex problems and acquire highly complex knowledge and skills. With regard to WM, CLT has focused to a large extent on learning task characteristics, and to a lesser extent on learner characteristics to manage WM load and optimize learning through instructional design. With regard to LTM, explanations of human learning and cognition have mainly focused on domain-general skills, instead of domain-specific knowledge held in LTM. The contributions to this special issue provide a broader cognitive load view on the role of memory in learning and education by presenting the historical roots and conceptual development of the concept of WM, as well as the theoretical and practical implications of current debates about WM mechanisms (Cowan 2014), by presenting an updated model of cognitive load in which the physical learning environment is considered a distinct causal factor for WM load (Choi et al. 2014), by an experimental demonstration of the effects of persistent pain on the available WM resources for learning (Smith and Ayres 2014), and by using aspects of evolutionary educational psychology to argue for the primacy of domain-specific knowledge in human cognition (Tricot and Sweller 2014). 相似文献

This article explores the opportunities to apply cognitive load theory and four-component instructional design to self-directed
learning. Learning tasks are defined as containing three elements: learners must (a) perform the tasks, (b) assess their task performance, and (c) select future tasks for improving their performance. Principles to manage intrinsic and extraneous load for performing learning
tasks, such as simple-to-complex ordering and fading-guidance strategies, are also applicable to assessing performance and
selecting tasks. Moreover, principles to increase germane load, such as high variability and self-explanation prompts, are
also applicable to assessment and selection. It is concluded that cognitive load theory and four-component instructional design
provide a solid basis for a research program on self-directed learning. 相似文献
