چکیده
Abstract The aim of the present study is to reconcile previous findings (a) that testing mode has no effect on test outcomes or cognitive load (Comput Hum Behav 77:1–10, 2017) and (b) younger learners’ working memory processes are more sensitive computer-based formats (J Psychoeduc Assess 37(3):382–394, 2019). We addressed key methodological limitations in past research by employing a repeated measures design with 263, year 9 (aged 13–14) science students Western Australia. Question difficulty (intrinsic load) (extraneous were manipulated measure changes performance, scratch paper use equivalent versions an Ohm’s Law revision quiz. Hierarchical linear modelling indicated significantly higher paper-based performance difficult questions addition greater for all questions. Testing effects score, as well both load, not significant when controlling capacity, although mode*question interaction remained significant. Together, these results contradict can be implemented without consequence learners. With increased national international-level assessments, warrant further into different modes school-aged students.
