Study Notes
Cognitive Load in Customer Scenarios
Minimizing Extraneous Cognitive Load
- Providing a simple, step-by-step breakdown of the billing statement minimizes extraneous cognitive load by making information more accessible and easier to understand.
- This approach helps reduce unnecessary complexity and prevents overwhelming the customer.
Optimizing Germane Cognitive Load
- Engaging the customer in identifying their usage patterns in relation to their billing cycle optimizes germane cognitive load.
- This approach helps customers construct meaningful connections between their service usage and costs incurred, facilitating deeper understanding and problem-solving.
Identifying Intrinsic Cognitive Load
- The technical nature of broadband speed terminology contributes significantly to intrinsic cognitive load.
- This is because understanding how broadband speed affects service is directly related to the complexity of the issue itself.
Key Concepts
- Intrinsic cognitive load: related to the complexity of the issue itself.
- Extraneous cognitive load: related to unnecessary complexity and information overload.
- Germane cognitive load: related to the mental effort required to understand and solve a problem.
