Cognitive psy blabla
Working memory is so frail! This central executive function is responsible for deciding which information is important enough to pay attention to and to rehears:
- your inner voice (phonological loop)
- your inner eye (visuospatial sketchpad)
- your episodic buffer combining the information.
When there is a gap between “knowing” and “doing”.
Decision fatigue: Micro decisions, eliminate them when possible!
Cognitive load is..
There are three aspects of cognitive load:
- Intrinsic cognitive load refers to the mental effort associated with a given subject based on your prior knowledge (which is stored in long-term memory)
- Extraneous cognitive load is about how approachable the information or the tasks present themselves – to you!
- Germane cognitive load says how much work is needed to transfer the subject to your long-term memory and work the new knowledge into your personal “larger context”.
