The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Integrating cognitive load theory and concepts of human-computer interaction (2010, methodology): “For instance, Oviatt (2006) applied usability principles, such as making a system intuitive to use and easy to learn in order to decrease extraneous cognitive load.”
Multimodal Interfaces: A Survey of Principles, Models and Frameworks (2009, background): “The advantages of multimodal interface design are elucidated in the theory of cognitive psychology, as well as human-computer interaction studies, most specifically in cognitive load theory, gestalt theory, and Baddeley's model of working memory [5, 53, 55].”
Do you get tired of socializing? An empirical explanation of discontinuous usage behaviour in social network services (2016, neutral): “Moreover, according to Cognitive Fit Theory, unnecessary features would distract users’ attention and increase individuals’ cognitive load, which induces poorer individual performance (Oviatt 2006).”
When more is too much: Operationalizing technology overload and exploring its impact on knowledge worker productivity (2010, methodology): “Cognitive load theory has been applied widely in instructional design and more recently for human-centered software design (Oviatt, 2006).”
