This week, Chris and Jon talk about the difficulty of dealing with cognitive load. Burdening users with many options or complex navigation systems can increase the amount of cognitive load. Reducing this burden can make your product easier to use! Keep listening for more tips on dealing with this tricky problem!
Other resources we talked about on the show:
- Measuring Cognitive Load (PDF)
- Minimizing Cognitive Load from the Nielsen-Norman Group
- Chris’ blog post on information architecture
