Cognitive overload scale

The Cognitive Overload Scale is a tool used to measure how overwhelmed a person feels when trying to process information. It assesses whether someone's mental capacity is strained by too much data, complexity, or difficulty in understanding a task. High scores on this scale indicate that a person might find it hard to focus, learn, or make decisions because their brain is overloaded. It's useful for educators, designers, and researchers to identify when information or tasks may be too demanding, so they can adjust their methods to improve understanding and performance.
