Title - Using Language Complexity to Measure Cognitive Load for Adaptive Interaction Design
Authors - M. Asif Khawaja, Fang Chen, Nadine Marcus
Summary
This conference paper talked alot about language complexity. The authors talked about analyzing different patterns and then using that to measure cognitive loading to use. This was centered around interface evaluation and increase the users ability to interact. The idea behind cognitive load is basically how much "load" a problem-solving task is places onto a person based on memory limits. This can happen when some user is having to due a task or some type of intense design. The paper wanted to improve the load on people so that it could be tested
Discussion
This paper was very interesting to read about. I liked the idea of helping cut down on the cognitive load with applications. At times, everybody can have to much on the mind and try to do everything at once. It would be nice to have something help balance the load, especially in an academic setting when assignments, tests, projects are all going on at the same time. It can often be overwhelming.
