摘要：
This paper provides an overview of how cognitive load theory applies to web site design and then considers three different methods of measuring cognitive load. NASA TLX is the standard method, but is a post-event measure. The Sternberg Memory Test and a tapping test both provide a means of measuring cognitive load while the person performs a usability test. By knowing the areas of high cognitive load, the designer can then consider what factors are causing the high load and potentially redesign the web site to reduce it.
