Perceiving effort as poor learning: The misinterpreted-effort hypothesis of how experienced effort and perceived learning relate to study strategy choice
How do learners make decisions about how, what, and when to study, and why are their
decisions sometimes ineffective for learning? In three studies, learners experienced a pair of …

An interactive layers model of self-regulated learning and cognitive load
Abstract Models of self-regulated learning emphasize the active and intentional role of
learners and, thereby, focus mainly on conscious processes in working memory and long …

The relation between students' effort and monitoring judgments during learning: A meta-analysis
Research has shown a bi-directional association between the (perceived) amount of
invested effort to learn or retrieve information (eg, time, mental effort) and metacognitive …

How does cognitive load interact with self-regulated learning? A dynamic and integrative model
Although cognitive load (CL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) have been widely
recognized as two determinant factors of students' performance, the integration of these two …

Looking at mental effort appraisals through a metacognitive lens: Are they biased?
A central factor in research guided by the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is the mental effort
people invest in performing a task. Mental effort is commonly assessed by asking people to …

Processing fluency in education: How metacognitive feelings shape learning, belief formation, and affect
R Reber, R Greifeneder - Educational Psychologist, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Processing fluency—the experienced ease with which a mental operation is performed—
has attracted little attention in educational psychology, despite its relevance. The present …

Growing out of the experience: How subjective experiences of effort and learning influence the use of interleaved practice
In higher education, many students make poor learning strategy decisions. This, in part,
results from the counterintuitive nature of effective learning strategies: they enhance long …

Do drawing tasks improve monitoring and control during learning from text?
In two experiments it was investigated how drawing as a monitoring task affects self-
regulated learning and cognitive load. To this end, participants (Exp. 1: N= 73, Exp. 2: N …
