As a result of reconceptualisation of germane cognitive load as referring to actual working memory resources devoted to dealing with intrinsic cognitive load, only intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load are distinguished as basic categories of cognitive load.
“In addition, it takes account of a recent reconceptualisation of germane cognitive load as referring to the actual working memory resources devoted to dealing with intrinsic cognitive load (Sweller et al. 2011). As a result of this reconceptualisation, only intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load are distinguished as basic categories of cognitive load.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
