HOW THE COGNITIVE LAWS WORKS: Human attention, memory capacity, and mental processing are limited. Systems that respect these limits by simplifying information, reducing distractions, and structuring tasks improve performance and understanding.

IN UX/UI/AI DESIGN: UX, UI, and AIX designers design for attention management, memory support, and mental models. AI experiences adapt content, pacing, and explanations to match user cognitive needs.

EXAMPLE: An analytics tool groups complex metrics into clear summaries, while a GenAI assistant explains insights step by step, helping users understand results without cognitive overload.
