The authors examined whether an extraneous cognitive load condition
adversely affected participants performance, self-efficacy, and
anxiety related to learning about Pearson's correlation. The
authors provide a review of the existing literature on cognitive
load and numerous motivational constructs to establish a foundation
for research examining how extraneous cognitive load condition can
possibly affect learners' self-efficacy and anxiety. This study
yielded a mixture of significant and non- significant findings
regarding the effect of extraneous cognitive load upon motivation
and performance. The study results suggested two things. First, the
correlation instruction improved participants self-efficacy.
Second, that there were confounds such as processing time and
content domain that may have affected the results. This suggests
that extraneous cognitive load conditions can still adversely
impact motivation and performance, but further research is needed
to examine these issues.
