Feb 24, 2024 · These elements can either increase or reduce cognitive load during creative tasks, and they are interconnected in their effects. Effective management of cognitive load, with the aim of minimizing extraneous load and optimizing germane load, is a noteworthy aspect discussed in the literature (Y.-C.
