Domain-specific¶
- Cognitive Load
- Differentiable load sources. The intrinsic-extraneous-germane decomposition breaks load into three components: intrinsic (task-essential complexity given the agent's prior knowledge), extraneous (imposed by presentation or format), and germane (investment in building schemas that will reduce future load).
This sourceClarifies element interactivity as the source of intrinsic load and redefines germane load.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Sweller (2010) supports the intrinsic/extraneous/germane frame but redefines germane load in terms of intrinsic load, not schema investment.
“Furthermore, germane cognitive load can be defined in terms of intrinsic cognitive load, thus also associating germane cognitive load with element interactivity.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
