Cognition: Memory and Cognitive Load

This lecture covers the cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction, focusing on cognitive load and spatial orientation. It discusses the cognitive processes involved in software development for target users, including memory types, cognitive overload, and factors influencing cognitive performance. Various tests and examples are used to illustrate cognitive phenomena, such as memory capacity limitations and split attention effects. The lecture also explores methods for measuring cognitive load, including eye tracking and physiological indicators. Additionally, it addresses the impact of information structure on cognitive processing and decision-making.
