| dc.description.abstract | According to cognitive load theory reading can be involved with three kinds of cognitive loads as name intrinsic, germane and extraneous. Among these, Germane Load refers to the use of relevant supportive material in par with various cognitive schemas to facilitate the reading & learning process. Thus, Human Computer Interaction phenomenon has become a key to this research area. There has been limited research conducted in this regard, and effective handling of germane load has been a research challenge. This paper reviews the concern and relativity on Germane Load in Human Computer Interaction specifically in reading tasks and the selection of the papers for the review being done through filtering topics of research papers taken from ACM Digital Library. The review of selected papers emphasize on some effects which generated by Cognitive Load Theory in reading. Out of them Work Example Effect plays a major role with HCI. Also this paper suggest an improvement in Human Computer Interaction to accommodate Germane Load effectively for reading purposes.. | |
