In the collaborative group, students who interact more will have lower extraneous load levels and higher germane load levels.

The present study investigates the relationship between cognitive load and collaboration. One group is engaged in collaborative note-taking, and the other is not. The study hypothesizes that the collaboration group will have higher germane cognitive load levels and lower extraneous cognitive load levels.
