"the amount of information a person has to store in working memory at a given time", understood to be conditioned on (a) a representation, (b) an inference, and (c) a strategy for performing the inference on the representation
Interesting! That definition is highly focused on space (working memory). But when we talk about load on processors there is both space and computation. Is there an alternative definition of cognitive load that emphasizes the size/complexity of inference, independent of working memory?
