What Is Cognitive Load Theory?

From StarTalk.

In this conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna explore cognitive load theory—how the brain processes information, the balance between effort and overload in learning, and how this applies to education, video game design, and even medicine. The discussion also raises concerns about AI tools and GPS-like systems: while they can help, they may also reduce human skills and critical thinking if overused.
