Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The internal consistency of the four frequently used subjective cognitive load questionnaires can be considered satisfactory across all four questionnaires. → Felix Krieglstein 2022

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis of 53 articles including 67 experiments (N = 7413 participants) from peer-reviewed experimental multimedia learning studies using the Eysink, Leppink (2013, 2014), and Klepsch questionnaires. The meta-analysis reports that "the internal consist ency of the subjective cognitive load questionnaires can be considered satisfactory across all four questionnaires."
"Results revealed that the internal consist ency of the subjective cognitive load questionnaires can be considered satisfactory across all four questionnaires."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Germane load measurement is problematic: GCL-outcome correlations and item understanding show weaknesses across instruments — related
- Reliability estimates of cognitive load questionnaires did not differ between educational settings, instructional domains, presentation modes, or number of scale points — related
- Correlations of cognitive load types with learning outcomes and prior knowledge support CLT assumptions, and results support the three-factor model — related
- The revised questionnaire shows satisfactory internal consistencies for each cognitive load type across Studies 1 and 2 — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Currently available multidimensional cognitive load questionnaires show psychometric limitations, including missing manipulation-check experiments and too few items per factor — reports the opposite
