Redirecting Learners' Attention during Training: Effects on Cognitive Load, Transfer Test Performance and Training Efficiency.

Studied aspects of cognitive load in 3 experiments involving 26 communication science, 69 engineering, and 87 educational science and communication science students. Results support the extraneous load hypothesis in relation to completion problems and provide some preliminary support to the germane load hypothesis in relation to high contextual interference, but only when interference is applied in combination with conventional problems.
