  2. Cognitive load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_load

    As of 1984 it was established for example, that there were individual differences in processing capacities between novices and experts. Experts have more knowledge or experience with regard to a specific task which reduces the cognitive load associated with the task.

  3. Perceptual load theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_Load_Theory

    The review argues that perceptual load theory has been misconstrued as a hybrid solution to the early selection versus late selection debate, and that it is instead an early selection model: selection occurs because attention is necessary for semantic processing, and the difference between high-load and low-load conditions is a result of the ...

  4. Spillover-crossover model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillover-crossover_model

    One example is the study of Bakker, Demerouti and Dollard ([36]), showing that work roles interfered with family roles when work overload and emotional demands increased. In turn, the intimate partner experienced a higher level of demands at home (e.g., an overload of household tasks), as a result of the negative behaviors of the employee.

  5. Infant cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_cognitive_development

    For example, infant's relatively poor perceptual skills protect their nervous system from undergoing sensory overload. The fact that infants have slow information processing prevents them from establishing intellectual habits early in their lives that would cause problems later in life, as their environments are significantly different.

  6. Weber–Fechner law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber–Fechner_law

    The relationship between stimulus and perception is logarithmic. This logarithmic relationship means that if a stimulus varies as a geometric progression (i.e., multiplied by a fixed factor), the corresponding perception is altered in an arithmetic progression (i.e., in additive constant amounts).

  7. Cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_development

    Cognitive development is a field of study in neuroscience and psychology focusing on a child's development in terms of information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, language learning, and other aspects of the developed adult brain and cognitive psychology. Qualitative differences between how a child processes their waking ...

  8. Progressive overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_overload

    Progressive overload is a method of strength training and hypertrophy training that advocates for the gradual increase of the stress placed upon the musculoskeletal and nervous system. [1] The principle of progressive overload suggests that the continual increase in the total workload during training sessions will stimulate muscle growth and ...

  9. Affective events theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affective_Events_Theory

    These differences between the age and gender of workers indicate differences in career phase, where young (male) workers are more likely to put up with or expect work overload, while middle-aged workers tend to be approaching their peak and may expect some concessions (e.g., based on track record, merit, or currency to the organization).
