Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Attention, cognitive workload/fatigue, and emotional states significantly influence learning outcomes, cognitive performance, and human-machine interactions. However, existing assessment methodologies fail to fully capture the multimodal nature of these cognitive processes, limiting their application in adaptive learning environments. This study presents the Cognitive Lab, a comprehensive multimodal dataset designed to investigate these cognitive processes across real-time learning scenarios. Specifically, it aims to capture and enable the classification of (1) attention and cognitive workload states using standard cognitive tasks, (2) cognitive fatigue arising from prolonged digital activities, and (3) emotional and learning states during interactive lessons.
