Description

Antonenko et al. (2010) describe the possibilities offered by "electroencephalography (EEG) to provide a continuous and objective measure of cognitive load". Unlike offline mental-effort ratings, online process measures indicate cognitive load at specific points in time, allowing hypotheses to be tested in more detail. The element identifies which EEG components can assess load and reviews EEG studies of learning from hypertext and multimedia materials.
