Reviews

"The concept of cognitive load is fundamental to theories of academic learning and instruction, but accurate measurement of cognitive load remains an elusive goal. If you are interested in current explorations of cognitive load measurement, this book belongs on your bookshelf."

-Richard E. Mayer, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara and author of Multimedia Learning: Second Edition

"Bringing together leading cognitive load researchers from diverse disciplines, this book provides a comprehensive and stimulating overview of cognitive load measurement. It covers a broad range of exciting developments with regard to the theory and methodology of measuring cognitive load as well as the application of these measures. I found myself particularly interested in the chapters focusing on physiological and multimodal measurement techniques in combination with machine learning approaches."

-Peter Gerjets, Professor for Learning and Instruction, Leibniz-Institut fur Wissensmedien and University of Tubingen, Germany
