Theresa Dechamps, M. Sc.

I am part of the cooperative doctoral program Wissensmedien as a doctoral student at Karlsruhe University of Education. My primary focus is to study cognitive load induced by digital media during learning and to evaluate the cognitive cost-benefit-model by Skulmowski & Xu (2022) in the project "Cognitive Load Theory and Digital Knowledge Media - Evaluation of a Cognitive Cost-Benefit-Model".
