mike_bowler, Cognitive load is an indication of how hard the brain works to perform specific actions. There are three different kinds of cognitive load:
- Intrinsic load: Complexity of the problem
- Extraneous load: Outside distractions
- Germane load: The load created by storing your thoughts to long term memory.
If the intrinsic and extraneous loads are too high then there won’t be enough capacity to write to long term memory. Effectively, we stopped learning.
