Rezumat	The Cognitive Load Scale (CLS), developed by Fred Paas in 1992 and refined by Paas and colleagues in subsequent years, is a brief, single-item or multi-item self-report instrument for assessing the cognitive load (mental effort) imposed by a learning or task environment. Originating in cognitive load theory research, the CLS has become a fundamental measurement tool in educational psychology, instructional design, and human factors, used to evaluate how instructional materials, interface designs, or training methods affect learner or operator mental burden.	The NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a multidimensional subjective workload assessment tool developed by Sandra Hart and Lowell Staveland at NASA's Ames Research Center in 1988. It measures six dimensions of cognitive and physical task load to quantify operator workload across diverse task domains, from aviation and process control to human-computer interaction. The TLX has become the gold standard for workload measurement in human factors research and applied settings.
