Abstract:
Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) distinguishes between three types of cognitive loads: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane. The present study primarily seeks to examine whether participants evaluate cognitive loads correctly when the extraneous and intrinsic cognitive loads are experimentally manipulated. The results showed that the participants evaluated the intrinsic and extraneous cognitive loads correctly, and also evaluated the germane load based on the manipulation of the extraneous load. The study also seeks to identify the type of cognitive load that contributes to learning effects; the results indicate that greater germane and lesser extraneous loads contribute to learning effects. However, the learning effects were not noticeable when far transfer problems were used.
