  • First Online:
Robust Multimodal Cognitive Load Measurement

Abstract

This chapter demonstrates the applicability of mouse interactivity based features as indicators of a user’s cognitive load. The chapter begins by introducing some basics of user mouse interaction. Then the temporal and spatial mouse features that are found to be viable indicators of cognitive load are introduced. The possibility of incorporating mouse interactivity features in multimodal cognitive load measures is also assessed in this chapter.
