A9.15

Load's interaction with pressure and time limits

Cards in this group · 4

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