Cognitive Load Theory: Emerging Trends and Innovations
Cognitive load theory (Sweller et al [...]
The synergy of embodied cognition and cognitive load theory for optimized learning
Effects of Observing Urban and Natural Scenes on Working Memory Depletion and Restoration: An EEG Study
Cognitive load theory focuses on the limited capacity of working memory (WM) to encapsulate information. While the original theory postulated a fixed capacity of working memory, research in the last decade has provided evidence for the depletion hypothesis. This hypothesis holds that WM becomes depleted after effortful cognitive operations that reduce its capacity, providing a framework for the restorative effects of rest periods. Rest periods du…
The Effect of Self-Monitoring on Mental Effort and Problem-Solving Performance: A Mixed-Methods Study
Self-regulated learning (SRL) has become increasingly important for learners in the 21st century as they engage more frequently in student-centered education. Accurate self-monitoring of one’s learning process is central to SRL. However, research has shown that learners often struggle with monitoring accuracy. One possible explanation is that the process of self-monitoring itself may add cognitive load, potentially reducing both self-monitoring a…
Impact of School Population Composition, Workload, and Teachers’ Utility Values on Teaching Quality: Insights From the Dutch Talis-2018 Data
Several studies show that teaching quality is an important predictor of students’ academic achievement. However, less is known about factors that are important for teaching quality. In the present study, it was hypothesized that school population composition [i.e., students’ socioeconomic status (SES) and migration background], workload, and teachers’ utility values toward teaching would be important factors related to their teaching quality. The…
“I’ll Be There”: Improving Online Class Attendance with a Commitment Nudge during Covid-19
Class attendance is an important predictor of academic success, but students encounter behavioral barriers preventing them from attending. In this experimental study, we investigated a commitment intervention to improve online attendance among university students (n = 973) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the experimental condition, we asked students to commit to attending all classes and divided this group into students who made the commitment a…
Restorative Effects of Observing Natural and Urban Scenery after Working Memory Depletion
According to attention restoration theory observing nature has restorative effects on cognitive components, such as working memory, after a cognitive depleting task. Additionally, urban environments are thought to have no effect or even a negative effect on cognitive restoration. Previous research has confirmed that observing actual, as well as digitally presented nature sceneries leads to more restoration of working memory capacity (WMC) than ob…
Measuring Cognitive Load: Are There More Valid Alternatives to Likert Rating Scales
Cognitive load researchers have used varying subjective techniques based on rating scales to quantify experienced cognitive load. Although it is generally assumed that subjects can introspect on their cognitive processes and have no difficulty in assigning numerical values to the imposed cognitive load, little is known about how visual characteristics of the rating scales influence the validity of the cognitive load measure. In this study we look…
Effects of An Acute Physical Activity Break on Test Anxiety and Math Test Performance
(1) Background: Test anxiety has been found to negatively affect students' mental health and academic performance. A primary explanation for this is that anxiety-related thoughts occupy working memory resources during testing that cannot be used for test-related processes (such as information retrieval and problem-solving). The present intervention study investigated whether physical activity could decrease anxiety levels and improve maths test p…
