Cognitive process

  • LTM (parmanent memory)
    • Without revisit, you’ll can forget stuff in ~10h
    • Stuff u can do without thinking
    • Facts
  • STM (gather information, 30s, 2-6 items)
  • Working memory (thinking)
    • Measured by cognitive load

Cognitive Load (Lower better)

  • intrinsic load: how complex the problem is itself
  • extraneous load: what outside distractions add to the problem
  • germane load: the effort required to store information to the LTM 🌟
    • If you’re maxed in intrinsic and extraneous load, you won’t be able to store stuff to LTM!
    • Writing can help keeping the intrinsic and extraneous load low here
      • notes/comments
      • what are you looking for? what have you found? where will you search next?
      • decisions
