A9.15
Load's interaction with pressure and time limits
Cards in this group · 4
- A9.15.1Moderate time pressure raises alertness and engagement, but excessive pressure crowds out processing capacity
- A9.15.2Pressure and load interact in an inverted-U — both ends of the curve hurt performance
- A9.15.3High-load tasks are more prone to strategy degradation under time pressure, shifting toward cheaper, coarser processing
- A9.15.4Under pressure, actively strip extraneous load from the interface and give the freed capacity to task load
