Eye closure helps memory by reducing cognitive load and enhancing visualisation.
Closing the eyes helps memory. We investigated the mechanisms underlying the eyeclosure effect by exposing 80 eyewitnesses to different types of distraction during the witness interview: blank screen (control), eyes closed, visual distraction, and auditory distraction. We examined the cognitive load hypothesis by comparing any type of distraction (visual or auditory) with minimal distraction (b...
متن کاملReducing Cognitive Load by Using the Periphery of our Attention
Going to the cinema, watching a movie and thereby eating popcorn is an enjoyable event. Nobody would consider watching the movie and eating popcorn as cumbersome or exhausting multitasking. This is due to our capabilities of carrying out small, well trained tasks (like eating) in parallel. However, when interacting with digital devices, we hardly use this skill and have to switch our focus and ...
متن کاملBrain Friendly Teaching-Reducing Learner's Cognitive Load.
Many didactic lectures induce a cognitive load in learners out of proportion to the content that they need to learn (or can learn) during that teaching session. This is due in part to the content, and in part to the way it is displayed or presented. By reducing the cognitive load on our audience, we can increase long-term retention of information. This article briefly summarizes some of the sci...
متن کاملTime and cognitive load in working memory.
According to the time-based resource-sharing model (P. Barrouillet, S. Bernardin, & V. Camos, 2004), the cognitive load a given task involves is a function of the proportion of time during which it captures attention, thus impeding other attention-demanding processes. Accordingly, the present study demonstrates that the disruptive effect on concurrent maintenance of memory retrievals and respon...
متن کاملReducing working memory load in spoken dialogue systems
We evaluated two strategies for alleviating working memory load for users of voice interfaces: presenting fewer options per turn and providing confirmations. Forty-eight users booked appointments using nine different dialogue systems, which varied in the number of options presented and the confirmation strategy used. Participants also performed four cognitive tests and rated the usability of ea...
