• Making the Black Box of Collaborative Learning Transparent: Combining Process-Oriented and Cognitive Load Approaches (2010, background): “Therefore, in trying to better understand the effectiveness and efficiency of collaborative learning, it is essential that the cognitive load imposed on a group member’s WM be taken into account (Paas et al. 2003b; Paas and Van Merriënboer 1993; Van Gog and Paas 2008).”
• Instructional efficiency of animation: effects of interactivity through mental reconstruction of static key frames (2007, background): “…of instructional techniques that stimulate learners to invest cognitive resources in activities relevant for learning, that is techniques that are successful at inducing germane cognitive load (Paas et al., 2003; Paas, Renkl, & Sweller, 2004; Sweller et al., 1998; Van Merriënboer & Sweller, 2005).”
• Expertise Reversal Effect and Its Implications for Learner-Tailored Instruction (2007, background): “The instructional efficiency is usually defined as the difference between standardized scores for performance and mental effort ratings (Paas and van Merrienboer 1993; Paas et al. 2003 ).”
• The worked example and expertise reversal effect in less structured tasks : Learning to reason about legal cases (2013, background): “Mental effort reflects the actual cognitive load, that is, the cognitive capacity that is actually allocated to accommodate the demands imposed by the task (Paas et al., 2003).”
• Cognitive Load Theory: Implications for medical education: AMEE Guide No. 86 (2014, methodology): “Learner self-rating has been the most commonly used strategy because it is inexpensive and has established validity (Paas et al. 2003).”
• Just-in-time information presentation: Improving learning a troubleshooting skill. (2006, methodology): “The Paas and van Merriënboer procedure (1993; see also Paas et al., 2003) was used to calculate efficiency.”
• Cognitive Load Theory: New Conceptualizations, Specifications, and Integrated Research Perspectives (2010, background): “Integrated research perspectives During the past two decades, cognitive load theory (CLT: Paas et al. 2003a, 2004; Sweller 1988; Sweller et al. 1998; Van Merriënboer and Sweller 2005) has become an influential theory in the fields of educational psychology and instructional design.”
• Nine Ways to Reduce Cognitive Load in Multimedia Learning (2003, background): “Additional research is needed on the measurement of cognitive load (cf. Brüncken, Plass, & Leutner, 2003; Paas, Tuovinen, Tabbers, & Van Gerven, 2003).”
