Abstract

Cognitive load as a phenomenon related to the magnitude of the processing demands on working memory is a dynamic characteristic of working-memory operation, indicating the intensity of this operation. This chapter discusses cognitive load measures on their level of objectivity and level of causal relationship. The first dimension, objectivity , describes whether a measurement method uses subjective, self-reported data or objective observations of behaviors. The second dimension, causal relation , classifies measurement methods based on the relation of the observed phenomenon to cognitive load either as direct, or indirect. The chapter reviews which of these measures are able to provide the kind of micro-level measures related to specific time points of the learning process that learner approach requires. It explains one of these approaches, the use of concurrent verbal protocols, in more detail. The chapter looks in more detail at the makeup of cognitive load as a cognitive phenomenon in order to determine the most suitable ways of measuring it.

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.
