In this article from competent aviators.com Alex Pollitt examines the limits of cognitive performance and how we can mitigate cognitive overload.
Any conscious mental processing we do that focuses our attention results in cognitive workload. Workload management is about maintaining a balance between level of demand and the mental effort required to meet that demand based on our available resources. Demand can go up, but resource can also go down. When demand outstrips resource the outcome is a decline in performance.
