Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cognitive Load

    The Cognitive Load Scale (CLS) was adapted from Leppink et al. (2013) and analyses the level of working memory resources needed to process information. It consists of 10 items that are rated on an 11-point scale (0 = Not at all the case to 10 = Completely the case). Items 1 to 3 relate to intrinsic load, items 4 to 6 fall under extraneous load, and items 7 to 10 are associated with germane load. Responses are added to give a total score for each subscale, which ranges from 0 (lowest) to 30 or 40 (highest) in the case of the germane load subscale. Higher total scores indicate more working memory resources required to process the information load under different conditions.
