Out of all the measures of cognitive load, germane load is crucial in determining one's motivation towards learning. The dynamics between the two becomes even more important when individuals are required to grasp understanding of complex content such as the one presented by math. Current stud explores the relationship between the three facets of cognitive load-intrinsic, extraneous and germane along with surveying if there exists any correlation between germane cognitive load and motivation. Results indicated that germane cognitive load was positively correlated with intrinsic cognitive load and negatively correlated with extraneous load. Another interesting finding was positive correlation between germane cognitive load and interest subdimension of motivation.
