L1
Cognitive Load
The mental effort required to process and understand content. Low cognitive load leads to higher engagement and trust.
High cognitive load occurs when content is complex, poorly structured, or information-overloaded. Users leave faster, and AI models struggle to identify the core message. Good chunking and clear hierarchy reduce cognitive load.
