load (n ) A measure of how hard it is to make sense of a stimulus Cognitive load refers to the aggregate demand that a stimulus places on the sense-making capacity of the human mind The higher the cognitive load of the stimulus, the more of a challenge it is to master As familiarity increases, the cognitive load of the stimulus decreases For example, Web sites with clear and consistent navigation systems place a lighter cognitive load on users than do Web sites with confusing or inconsistent navigation systems

discrepancy between what a person does and what they think or believe; psychological state of conflict that occurs when a person's behavior contradicts their thoughts or beliefs
A condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one's beliefs and one's actions, such as opposing the slaughter of animals and eating meat. Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919-1989) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists
Branch of psychology devoted to the study of human cognition, particularly as it affects learning and behaviour. The field grew out of advances in Gestalt, developmental, and comparative psychology and in computer science, particularly information-processing research. Cognitive psychology shares many research interests with cognitive science, and some experts classify it as a branch of the latter. Contemporary cognitive theory has followed one of two broad approaches: the developmental approach, derived from the work of Jean Piaget and concerned with "representational thought" and the construction of mental models ("schemas") of the world, and the information-processing approach, which views the human mind as analogous to a sophisticated computer system
A multi-disciplinary field studying human cognitive processes, including their relationship to technologically embodied models of cognition See also: Artificial Intelligence
The study of the nature of various mental tasks and the processes that enable them to be performed. Interdisciplinary study that attempts to explain the cognitive processes of humans and some higher animals in terms of the manipulation of symbols using computational rules. The field draws particularly on the disciplines of artificial intelligence, psychology (see cognitive psychology), linguistics, neuroscience, and philosophy. Some chief areas of research in cognitive science have been vision, thinking and reasoning, memory, attention, learning, and language processing. Early theories of cognitive function attempted to explain the evident compositionality of human thought (thoughts are built up of smaller units put together in a certain way), as well as its productivity (the process of putting together a thought from smaller units can be repeated indefinitely to produce an infinite number of new thoughts), by assuming the existence of discrete mental representations that can be put together or taken apart according to rules that are sensitive to the representations' syntactic, or structural, properties. This "language of thought" hypothesis was later challenged by an approach, variously referred to as connectionism, parallel-distributed processing, or neural-network modeling, according to which cognitive processes (such as pattern recognition) consist of adjustments in the activation strengths of neuronlike processing units arranged in a network
Is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing; philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology
A multi-disciplinary field of inquiry into the perceptions of the mind Cognitive science draws on methodology and learning's from linguistics, psychology, philosophy and computer science

Study of the processes of intelligent reasoning, involving input from a number of disciplines, including: cognitive psychology, sciences, cognitive models, computer science, information science, linguistics, psychology
the field of science concerned with cognition; includes parts of cognitive psychology and linguistics and computer science and cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of mind
A multi-disciplinary field developed in the 20th century to study the processes and activities of the mind and brain, particularly those having to do with intellect, emotion, and rationality Some of the most important disciplines which contribute to cognitive science are philosophy, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, and linguistics Other fields, such as sociology and anthropology may also play a role in cognitive science
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study which attempts to further our understanding of the nature of thought <Discussion> <References> William Willaford
